11:17:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:17:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:17:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:17:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:17:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:17:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:17:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:17:14 Dome is MaxDome
11:17:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:17:14 Imager is ASCOM
11:17:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:17:14 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@111614 UTC
11:17:14 Imager readout modes:
11:17:14   0 is Fast
11:17:14   1 is Normal
11:17:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:17:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:17:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:17:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:17:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:17:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:17:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:17:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:17:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:17:14 ==== Starting target CH_Cyg ====
11:17:14 ACPS Observation CH_Cyg(1 of 1)
11:17:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SBL_AUTO_ver3479, Plan CH_Cyg)
11:17:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:17:14 Pointing updates are enabled
11:17:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:17:14   Start slew to CH_Cyg...
11:17:16   (wait for slew to complete)
11:18:48   (slew complete)

11:18:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:18:48   (using Fast readout mode)
11:18:48   (starting exposure)
11:19:03   (exposure complete)
11:19:05   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:19:06   Image finished
11:19:06   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:19:07   599 image stars found
11:19:07   334 catalog stars found
11:19:08   Solved! 107 stars matched.
11:19:08   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
11:19:08   Pointing error is 0.394 arcmin @ angle 184.64
11:19:08   True focal length is 3465.1 mm.
11:19:08   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:19:08   True image center (J2000): 19h 24m 32.9s   50° 14' 05.54"
11:19:08   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
11:19:08   [sync] pointing model updated
11:19:08   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:19:08   Target is now centered.
11:19:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
