Licensed to Arne Henden
02:06:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:06:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:06:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:06:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:06:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:06:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:06:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:06:26 Dome is MaxDome
02:06:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:06:26 Imager is ASCOM
02:06:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:06:26 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240221@020404 UTC
02:06:26 Imager readout modes:
02:06:26   0 is Fast
02:06:26   1 is Normal
02:06:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:06:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:06:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:06:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:06:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:06:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:06:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:06:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:06:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:06:26 ==== Starting target V1112_Per ====
02:06:26 ACPS Observation V1112_Per(1 of 1)
02:06:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P167_HGUA_AUTO_ver2706, Plan V1112_Per)
02:06:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:06:26 Pointing updates are enabled
02:06:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:06:26   Start slew to V1112_Per...
02:06:28   (wait for slew to complete)

02:07:13   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:07:13   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:07:15   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:07:15   (using Fast readout mode)
02:07:15   (starting exposure)
02:07:37   (exposure complete)
02:07:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:07:41   Image finished
02:07:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:07:42   1484 image stars found
02:07:42   424 catalog stars found
02:07:44   Solved! 168 stars matched.
02:07:45   Average residual is 0.24 arcsec.
02:07:45   Pointing error is 0.649 arcmin @ angle 84.92
02:07:45   True focal length is 3467.7 mm.
02:07:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

02:07:45   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:07:45   [sync] pointing model updated
02:07:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:07:45   Target is now centered.
02:07:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:07:45   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:07:45   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
