09:48:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:48:01 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:48:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:48:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:48:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:48:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:48:03 Dome is MaxDome
09:48:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:48:03 Imager is ASCOM
09:48:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:48:03 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@091807 UTC
09:48:03 Imager readout modes:
09:48:03   0 is Fast
09:48:03   1 is Normal
09:48:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:48:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:48:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:48:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:48:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:48:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:48:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:48:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:48:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:48:03 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
09:48:03 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
09:48:03   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
09:48:03   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:48:03 Pointing updates are enabled
09:48:03 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:48:03   Start slew to X_Ser...
09:48:05   (wait for slew to complete)
09:49:16   (slew complete)
09:49:16     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-12413s GW=T HAz=-11813s DWz=T WF=no]
09:49:16   Updating pointing...
09:49:16   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:49:16   (using Fast readout mode)
09:49:16   (starting exposure)
09:49:31   (exposure complete)
09:49:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:49:35   Image finished
09:49:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:49:35   267 image stars found
09:49:36   193 catalog stars found
09:49:37   Solved! 74 stars matched.
09:49:37   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
09:49:37   Pointing error is 1.926 arcmin @ angle 270.01
09:49:37   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
09:49:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:49:37   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 10.0s   -02° 29' 29.58"
09:49:37   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
09:49:37   [sync] pointing model updated
09:49:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:49:37   Target is now centered.
