This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:26:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:26:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:26:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:26:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:26:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:26:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:26:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:26:24 Dome is MaxDome
04:26:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:26:24 Imager is ASCOM
04:26:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:26:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@041948 UTC
04:26:24 Imager readout modes:
04:26:24   0 is Fast
04:26:24   1 is Normal
04:26:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:26:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:26:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:26:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:26:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:26:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:26:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:26:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:26:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:26:24 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====
04:26:24 ACPS Observation HQ_Mon(1 of 1)
04:26:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HQ_Mon)
04:26:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:26:24 Pointing updates are enabled
04:26:24 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:26:24   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
04:26:26   (wait for slew to complete)
04:26:51   (slew complete)

04:26:51   Updating pointing...
04:26:51   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:26:51   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:26:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:26:55   (using Fast readout mode)
04:26:55   (starting exposure)
04:27:20   (exposure complete)
04:27:22   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:27:23   Image finished
04:27:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:27:24   2172 image stars found
04:27:24   415 catalog stars found
04:27:25   Solved! 139 stars matched.
04:27:25   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
04:27:25   Pointing error is 1.853 arcmin @ angle 83.68
04:27:25   True focal length is 3471.0 mm.
04:27:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:27:25   True image center (J2000): 07h 11m 41.1s   00° 52' 18.24"
04:27:25   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
04:27:25   [sync] pointing model updated
04:27:25   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:27:25   Target is now centered.
04:27:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:27:25   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:27:25   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:27:25   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:27:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:27:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=791.1216 Y=822.1953
04:27:43   (guide star SNR=26.4 X=791 Y=822)
04:27:43   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
