11:12:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:12:50 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:12:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:12:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:12:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:12:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:12:51 Dome is MaxDome
11:12:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:12:51 Imager is ASCOM
11:12:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:12:51 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240223@111106 UTC
11:12:51 Imager readout modes:
11:12:51   0 is Fast
11:12:51   1 is Normal
11:12:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:12:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:12:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:12:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:12:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:12:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:12:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:12:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:12:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:12:51 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
11:12:51 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
11:12:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
11:12:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:12:51 Pointing updates are enabled
11:12:51 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:12:51   Start slew to CG_Dra...
11:12:53   (wait for slew to complete)
11:13:39   (slew complete)

11:13:39   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:13:39   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:13:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:13:42   (using Fast readout mode)
11:13:42   (starting exposure)
11:14:03   (exposure complete)
11:14:05   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:14:07   Image finished
11:14:07   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:14:07   214 image stars found
11:14:07   310 catalog stars found
11:14:08   Solved! 90 stars matched.
11:14:08   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
11:14:08   Pointing error is 0.786 arcmin @ angle 211.78
11:14:08   True focal length is 3466.6 mm.
11:14:08   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:14:08   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 30.0s   52° 57' 48.38"
11:14:08   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
11:14:08   [sync] pointing model updated
11:14:08   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:14:08   Target is now centered.
11:14:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:14:08   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:14:08   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
11:14:08   Focus change of -360 steps required
11:14:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:14:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=929.0642 Y=566.0313
11:14:23   (guide star SNR=34.3 X=929 Y=566)
11:14:24   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
