Licensed to Arne Henden
05:30:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:30:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:30:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:30:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:30:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:30:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:30:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:30:14 Dome is MaxDome
05:30:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:30:14 Imager is ASCOM
05:30:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:30:14 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240222@052859 UTC
05:30:14 Imager readout modes:
05:30:14   0 is Fast
05:30:14   1 is Normal
05:30:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:30:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:30:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:30:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:30:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:30:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:30:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:30:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:30:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:30:14 ==== Starting target CW_Mon ====
05:30:14 ACPS Observation CW_Mon(1 of 1)
05:30:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan CW_Mon)
05:30:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:30:14 Pointing updates are enabled
05:30:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:30:14   Start slew to CW_Mon...
05:30:16   (wait for slew to complete)
05:31:42   (slew complete)

05:31:42   Updating pointing...
05:31:42   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:31:42   Focus change of -270 steps required
05:31:45   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:31:45   (using Fast readout mode)
05:31:45   (starting exposure)
05:32:09   (exposure complete)
05:32:11   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:32:12   Image finished
05:32:12   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:32:13   692 image stars found
05:32:13   207 catalog stars found
05:32:14   Solved! 100 stars matched.
05:32:15   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
05:32:15   Pointing error is 0.717 arcmin @ angle 55.75
05:32:15   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
05:32:15   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:32:15   True image center (J2000): 06h 36m 57.0s   00° 02' 41.42"
05:32:15   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:32:15   [sync] pointing model updated
05:32:15   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:32:15   Target is now centered.
05:32:15   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:32:15   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:32:15   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging

05:32:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:32:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=254.2092 Y=800.2733
