11:10:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:10:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:10:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:10:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:10:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:10:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:10:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:10:48 Dome is MaxDome
11:10:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:10:49 Imager is ASCOM
11:10:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:10:49 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240224@110536 UTC
11:10:49 Imager readout modes:
11:10:49   0 is Fast
11:10:49   1 is Normal
11:10:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:10:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:10:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:10:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:10:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:10:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:10:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:10:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:10:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:10:49 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
11:10:49 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
11:10:49   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
11:10:49   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:10:49 Pointing updates are enabled
11:10:49 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:10:49   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
11:10:51   (wait for slew to complete)
11:11:21   (slew complete)
11:11:21     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-16466s GW=T HAz=-15926s DWz=T WF=no]
11:11:21   Updating pointing...
11:11:21   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:11:21   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:11:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:11:23   (using Fast readout mode)
11:11:23   (starting exposure)
11:11:45   (exposure complete)
11:11:48   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:11:49   Image finished
11:11:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:11:49   744 image stars found
11:11:49   428 catalog stars found
11:11:51   Solved! 135 stars matched.
11:11:51   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
11:11:51   Pointing error is 0.413 arcmin @ angle 240.54
11:11:51   True focal length is 3466.6 mm.
11:11:51   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:11:51   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 23.4s   29° 13' 24.81"
11:11:51   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:11:51   [sync] pointing model updated
11:11:51   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:11:51   Target is now centered.
