Licensed to Arne Henden
11:33:46 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:33:46 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:33:46   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:33:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:33:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:33:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:33:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:33:47 Dome is MaxDome
11:33:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:33:47 Imager is ASCOM
11:33:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:33:47 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240222@113109 UTC
11:33:47 Imager readout modes:
11:33:47   0 is Fast
11:33:47   1 is Normal
11:33:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:33:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:33:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:33:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:33:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:33:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:33:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:33:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:33:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:33:47 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
11:33:47 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
11:33:47   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan M56_V6)
11:33:47   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:33:47 Pointing updates are enabled
11:33:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:33:47   Start slew to M56_V6...
11:33:49   (wait for slew to complete)
11:34:18   (slew complete)
11:34:18     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-16948s GW=T HAz=-16288s DWz=T WF=no]
11:34:18   Updating pointing...
11:34:18   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:34:18   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:34:21   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:34:21   (using Fast readout mode)
11:34:21   (starting exposure)
11:34:43   (exposure complete)
11:34:46   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:34:47   Image finished
11:34:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:34:48   1305 image stars found
11:34:48   357 catalog stars found
11:34:49   Solved! 124 stars matched.
11:34:49   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
11:34:49   Pointing error is 0.813 arcmin @ angle 250.88
11:34:49   True focal length is 3466.9 mm.
11:34:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:34:49   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 31.9s   30° 10' 48.23"
11:34:49   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:34:49   [sync] pointing model updated
11:34:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:34:49   Target is now centered.
11:34:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
