Licensed to Arne Henden
02:36:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:36:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:36:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:36:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:36:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:36:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:36:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:36:13 Dome is MaxDome
02:36:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:36:14 Imager is ASCOM
02:36:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:36:14 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240221@023332 UTC
02:36:14 Imager readout modes:
02:36:14   0 is Fast
02:36:14   1 is Normal
02:36:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:36:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:36:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:36:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:36:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:36:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:36:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:36:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:36:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:36:14 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
02:36:14 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
02:36:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
02:36:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:36:14 Pointing updates are enabled
02:36:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:36:14   Start slew to J072816...
02:36:16   (wait for slew to complete)
02:37:15   (slew complete)

02:37:15   Updating pointing...
02:37:15   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:37:15   Focus change of 20 steps required
02:37:18   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:37:18   (using Fast readout mode)
02:37:18   (starting exposure)
02:37:34   (exposure complete)
02:37:37   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:37:38   Image finished
02:37:38   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:37:39   453 image stars found
02:37:39   313 catalog stars found
02:37:40   Solved! 133 stars matched.
02:37:40   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
02:37:40   Pointing error is 0.996 arcmin @ angle 250.80
02:37:40   True focal length is 3467.1 mm.
02:37:40   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:37:40   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 03.5s   75° 15' 55.51"
02:37:40   Imager sky position angle is 178.6 deg.
02:37:40   [sync] pointing model updated
02:37:40   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:37:40   Target is now centered.
02:37:40   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:37:40   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
02:37:40   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
