02:12:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:12:03 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:12:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:12:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:12:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:12:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:12:04 Dome is MaxDome
02:12:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:12:05 Imager is ASCOM
02:12:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:12:05 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240223@020713 UTC
02:12:05 Imager readout modes:
02:12:05   0 is Fast
02:12:05   1 is Normal
02:12:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:12:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:12:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:12:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:12:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:12:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:12:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:12:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:12:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:12:05 ==== Starting target AE_And ====
02:12:05 ACPS Observation AE_And(1 of 1)
02:12:05   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AE_And)
02:12:05   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:12:05 Pointing updates are enabled
02:12:05 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:12:05   Start slew to AE_And...
02:12:06   (wait for slew to complete)
02:13:38   (slew complete)

02:13:38   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:13:38   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:13:40   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:13:40   (using Fast readout mode)
02:13:40   (starting exposure)
02:14:02   (exposure complete)
02:14:04   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:14:05   Image finished
02:14:05   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:14:06   511 image stars found
02:14:06   297 catalog stars found
02:14:07   Solved! 123 stars matched.
02:14:07   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
02:14:07   Pointing error is 1.119 arcmin @ angle 79.71
02:14:07   True focal length is 3465.9 mm.
02:14:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:14:07   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 08.4s   41° 49' 24.18"
02:14:07   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
02:14:07   [sync] pointing model updated
02:14:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:14:07   Target is now centered.
