Licensed to Arne Henden
02:07:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:07:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:07:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:07:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:07:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:07:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:07:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:07:37 Dome is MaxDome
02:07:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:07:37 Imager is ASCOM
02:07:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:07:37 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240222@020420 UTC
02:07:37 Imager readout modes:
02:07:37   0 is Fast
02:07:37   1 is Normal
02:07:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:07:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:07:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:07:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:07:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:07:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:07:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:07:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:07:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:07:37 ==== Starting target AF_And ====
02:07:37 ACPS Observation AF_And(1 of 1)
02:07:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AF_And)
02:07:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:07:37 Pointing updates are enabled
02:07:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:07:37   Start slew to AF_And...
02:07:39   (wait for slew to complete)
02:08:33   (slew complete)

02:08:33   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:08:33   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:08:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:08:37   (using Fast readout mode)
02:08:37   (starting exposure)
02:09:03   (exposure complete)
02:09:06   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:09:07   Image finished
02:09:07   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:09:08   436 image stars found
02:09:08   240 catalog stars found
02:09:09   Solved! 84 stars matched.
02:09:09   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
02:09:09   Pointing error is 0.134 arcmin @ angle 339.33
02:09:09   True focal length is 3468.3 mm.
02:09:09   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:09:09   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 32.8s   41° 12' 17.83"
02:09:09   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
02:09:09   [sync] pointing model updated
02:09:09   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:09:09   Target is now centered.
