10:21:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:21:06 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:21:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:21:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:21:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:21:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:21:07 Dome is MaxDome
10:21:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:21:07 Imager is ASCOM
10:21:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:21:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240221@102032 UTC
10:21:07 Imager readout modes:
10:21:07   0 is Fast
10:21:07   1 is Normal
10:21:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:21:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:21:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:21:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:21:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:21:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:21:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:21:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:21:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:21:08 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
10:21:08 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
10:21:08   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
10:21:08   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:21:08 Pointing updates are enabled
10:21:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:21:08   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
10:21:09   (wait for slew to complete)
10:22:24   (slew complete)

10:22:24   Updating pointing...
10:22:24   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:22:24   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:22:28   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:22:28   (using Fast readout mode)
10:22:28   (starting exposure)
10:22:53   (exposure complete)
10:22:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:22:56   Image finished
10:22:56   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:22:57   829 image stars found
10:22:57   331 catalog stars found
10:22:58   Solved! 134 stars matched.
10:22:58   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
10:22:58   Pointing error is 0.903 arcmin @ angle 254.75
10:22:58   True focal length is 3465.0 mm.
10:22:58   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:22:58   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 11.4s   44° 00' 54.34"
10:22:58   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:22:58   [sync] pointing model updated
10:22:58   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:22:58   Target is now centered.
