09:50:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:50:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:50:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:50:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:50:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:50:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:50:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:50:52 Dome is MaxDome
09:50:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:50:52 Imager is ASCOM
09:50:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:50:52 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240221@094600 UTC
09:50:52 Imager readout modes:
09:50:52   0 is Fast
09:50:52   1 is Normal
09:50:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:50:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:50:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:50:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:50:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:50:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:50:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:50:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:50:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:50:52 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
09:50:52 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
09:50:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
09:50:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:50:52 Pointing updates are enabled
09:50:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:50:52   Start slew to IX_Dra...
09:50:54   (wait for slew to complete)
09:52:30   (slew complete)

09:52:30   Updating pointing...
09:52:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:52:30   (using Fast readout mode)
09:52:30   (starting exposure)
09:52:45   (exposure complete)
09:52:48   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:52:49   Image finished
09:52:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:52:50   427 image stars found
09:52:50   307 catalog stars found
09:52:51   Solved! 109 stars matched.
09:52:51   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
09:52:51   Pointing error is 0.738 arcmin @ angle 249.29
09:52:51   True focal length is 3466.2 mm.
09:52:51   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:52:51   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 24.4s   67° 04' 30.14"
09:52:51   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
09:52:51   [sync] pointing model updated
09:52:51   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:52:51   Target is now centered.
