11:48:59 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:48:59 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:48:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:49:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:49:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:49:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:49:00 Dome is MaxDome
11:49:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:49:00 Imager is ASCOM
11:49:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:49:00 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@114752 UTC
11:49:00 Imager readout modes:
11:49:00   0 is Fast
11:49:00   1 is Normal
11:49:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:49:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:49:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:49:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:49:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:49:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:49:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:49:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:49:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:49:00 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
11:49:00 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
11:49:00   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO_ver2821, Plan PV_Cep)
11:49:00   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:49:00 Pointing updates are enabled
11:49:00 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:49:01   Start slew to PV_Cep...
11:49:02   (wait for slew to complete)
11:50:43   (slew complete)

11:50:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:50:43   (using Fast readout mode)
11:50:43   (starting exposure)
11:50:58   (exposure complete)
11:51:00   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:51:01   Image finished
11:51:01   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:51:02   423 image stars found
11:51:02   384 catalog stars found
11:51:04   Solved! 172 stars matched.
11:51:04   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
11:51:04   Pointing error is 0.476 arcmin @ angle 181.44
11:51:04   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
11:51:04   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:51:04   True image center (J2000): 20h 45m 53.8s   67° 57' 10.15"
11:51:04   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
11:51:04   [sync] pointing model updated
11:51:04   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:51:04   Target is now centered.
