Licensed to Arne Henden
03:10:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:10:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:10:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:10:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:10:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:10:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:10:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:10:29 Dome is MaxDome
03:10:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:10:29 Imager is ASCOM
03:10:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:10:29 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@025948 UTC
03:10:29 Imager readout modes:
03:10:29   0 is Fast
03:10:29   1 is Normal
03:10:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:10:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:10:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:10:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:10:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:10:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:10:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:10:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:10:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:10:29 ==== Starting target NSVS_0421121 ====
03:10:29 ACPS Observation NSVS_0421121(1 of 1)
03:10:29   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSVS_0421121)
03:10:29   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:10:29 Pointing updates are enabled
03:10:29 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:10:29   Start slew to NSVS_0421121...
03:10:31   (wait for slew to complete)
03:10:46   (slew complete)

03:10:46   Updating pointing...
03:10:46   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:10:46   (using Fast readout mode)
03:10:46   (starting exposure)
03:11:02   (exposure complete)
03:11:04   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:11:06   Image finished
03:11:06   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:11:06   259 image stars found
03:11:06   202 catalog stars found
03:11:07   Solved! 58 stars matched.
03:11:07   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:11:07   Pointing error is 0.438 arcmin @ angle 7.11
03:11:07   True focal length is 3474.1 mm.
03:11:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:11:07   True image center (J2000): 04h 21m 12.3s   16° 26' 43.47"
03:11:07   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:11:07   [sync] pointing model updated
03:11:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:11:07   Target is now centered.
03:11:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
