04:30:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:30:18 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:30:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:30:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:30:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:30:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:30:19 Dome is MaxDome
04:30:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:30:19 Imager is ASCOM
04:30:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:30:19 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@042951 UTC
04:30:19 Imager readout modes:
04:30:19   0 is Fast
04:30:19   1 is Normal
04:30:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:30:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:30:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:30:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:30:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:30:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:30:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:30:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:30:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:30:19 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
04:30:19 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
04:30:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
04:30:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:30:19 Pointing updates are enabled
04:30:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:30:19   Start slew to J072816...
04:30:21   (wait for slew to complete)
04:31:15   (slew complete)

04:31:15   Updating pointing...
04:31:15   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:31:15   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:31:19   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:31:19   (using Fast readout mode)
04:31:19   (starting exposure)
04:31:44   (exposure complete)
04:31:46   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:31:48   Image finished
04:31:48   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:31:48   378 image stars found
04:31:49   313 catalog stars found
04:31:50   Solved! 124 stars matched.
04:31:50   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
04:31:50   Pointing error is 1.209 arcmin @ angle 262.62
04:31:50   True focal length is 3469.1 mm.
04:31:50   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:31:50   True image center (J2000): 07h 27m 59.4s   75° 16' 05.84"
04:31:50   Imager sky position angle is 178.6 deg.
04:31:50   [sync] pointing model updated
04:31:50   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:31:50   Target is now centered.
