Licensed to Arne Henden
11:36:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:36:37 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:36:37   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:36:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:36:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:36:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:36:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:36:38 Dome is MaxDome
11:36:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:36:38 Imager is ASCOM
11:36:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:36:38 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240223@113400 UTC
11:36:38 Imager readout modes:
11:36:38   0 is Fast
11:36:38   1 is Normal
11:36:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:36:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:36:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:36:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:36:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:36:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:36:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:36:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:36:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:36:38 ==== Starting target NGC_6093 ====
11:36:38 ACPS Observation NGC_6093(1 of 1)
11:36:38   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6093)
11:36:38   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:36:38 Pointing updates are enabled
11:36:38 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:36:38   Start slew to NGC_6093...
11:36:40   (wait for slew to complete)
11:36:59   (slew complete)

11:36:59   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:36:59   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:37:02   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:37:02   (using Fast readout mode)
11:37:02   (starting exposure)
11:37:23   (exposure complete)

11:37:27   403 catalog stars found
11:37:29   Solved! 62 stars matched.
11:37:29   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
11:37:29   Pointing error is 1.396 arcmin @ angle 82.33
11:37:29   True focal length is 3464.0 mm.
11:37:29   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

11:37:29   [sync] pointing model updated
11:37:29   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:37:29   Target is now centered.
