Licensed to Arne Henden
07:02:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:02:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:02:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:02:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:02:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:02:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:02:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:02:34 Dome is MaxDome
07:02:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:02:34 Imager is ASCOM
07:02:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:02:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@065904 UTC
07:02:34 Imager readout modes:
07:02:34   0 is Fast
07:02:34   1 is Normal
07:02:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:02:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:02:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:02:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:02:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:02:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:02:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:02:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:02:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:02:34 ==== Starting target FS_Aur ====
07:02:34 ACPS Observation FS_Aur(1 of 1)
07:02:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan FS_Aur)
07:02:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:02:34 Pointing updates are enabled
07:02:34 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:02:34   Start slew to FS_Aur...
07:02:36   (wait for slew to complete)
07:03:05   (slew complete)

07:03:05   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:03:05   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:03:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:03:09   (using Fast readout mode)
07:03:09   (starting exposure)
07:03:34   (exposure complete)
07:03:37   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:03:38   Image finished
07:03:38   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:03:39   1046 image stars found
07:03:39   337 catalog stars found
07:03:40   Solved! 157 stars matched.
07:03:40   Average residual is 0.21 arcsec.
07:03:40   Pointing error is 0.960 arcmin @ angle 72.41
07:03:40   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
07:03:40   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:03:40   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
07:03:40   [sync] pointing model updated
07:03:40   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:03:40   Target is now centered.
