09:18:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:18:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:18:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:18:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:18:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:18:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:18:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:18:45 Dome is MaxDome
09:18:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:18:45 Imager is ASCOM
09:18:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:18:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@091735 UTC
09:18:45 Imager readout modes:
09:18:45   0 is Fast
09:18:45   1 is Normal
09:18:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:18:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:18:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:18:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:18:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:18:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:18:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:18:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:18:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:18:45 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
09:18:45 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
09:18:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
09:18:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:18:46 Pointing updates are enabled
09:18:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:18:46   Start slew to IX_Dra...
09:18:47   (wait for slew to complete)
09:20:27   (slew complete)
09:20:27     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-21098s GW=T HAz=-20438s DWz=T WF=no]
09:20:27   Updating pointing...
09:20:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:20:27   (using Fast readout mode)
09:20:27   (starting exposure)
09:20:43   (exposure complete)
09:20:45   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:20:47   Image finished
09:20:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:20:47   284 image stars found
09:20:47   307 catalog stars found
09:20:49   Solved! 91 stars matched.
09:20:49   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
09:20:49   Pointing error is 0.491 arcmin @ angle 208.15
09:20:49   True focal length is 3465.2 mm.
09:20:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:20:49   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 29.1s   67° 04' 19.81"
09:20:49   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
09:20:49   [sync] pointing model updated
09:20:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:20:49   Target is now centered.
