10:28:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:28:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:28:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:28:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:28:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:28:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:28:10 Dome is MaxDome
10:28:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:28:10 Imager is ASCOM
10:28:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:28:10 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@102702 UTC
10:28:10 Imager readout modes:
10:28:10   0 is Fast
10:28:10   1 is Normal
10:28:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:28:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:28:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:28:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:28:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:28:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:28:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:28:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:28:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:28:10 ==== Starting target NSV_11154 ====
10:28:10 ACPS Observation NSV_11154(1 of 1)
10:28:10   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WEL_AUTO_ver3443, Plan NSV_11154)
10:28:10   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:28:10 Pointing updates are enabled
10:28:10 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:28:10   Start slew to NSV_11154...
10:28:12   (wait for slew to complete)
10:29:42   (slew complete)

10:29:42   Updating pointing...
10:29:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:29:42   (using Fast readout mode)
10:29:42   (starting exposure)
10:29:57   (exposure complete)
10:30:00   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:30:01   Image finished
10:30:01   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:30:02   520 image stars found
10:30:02   352 catalog stars found
10:30:03   Solved! 124 stars matched.
10:30:03   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
10:30:03   Pointing error is 0.655 arcmin @ angle 237.43
10:30:03   True focal length is 3465.0 mm.
10:30:03   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:30:03   True image center (J2000): 18h 37m 48.0s   47° 23' 02.35"
10:30:03   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:30:03   [sync] pointing model updated
10:30:03   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:30:03   Target is now centered.
