05:15:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:15:31 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:15:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:15:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:15:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:15:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:15:32 Dome is MaxDome
05:15:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:15:33 Imager is ASCOM
05:15:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:15:33 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@051513 UTC
05:15:33 Imager readout modes:
05:15:33   0 is Fast
05:15:33   1 is Normal
05:15:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:15:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:15:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:15:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:15:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:15:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:15:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:15:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:15:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:15:33 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:15:33 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:15:33   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:15:33   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:15:33 Pointing updates are enabled
05:15:33 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:15:33   (wait for slew to complete)
05:15:37   (slew complete)

05:17:16   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:17:16   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:17:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:17:20   (using Fast readout mode)
05:17:20   (starting exposure)
05:17:44   (exposure complete)
05:17:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:17:48   Image finished
05:17:48   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:17:48   156 image stars found
05:17:49   151 catalog stars found
05:17:50   Solved! 51 stars matched.
05:17:50   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
05:17:50   Pointing error is 0.776 arcmin @ angle 258.03
05:17:50   True focal length is 3464.5 mm.
05:17:50   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:17:50   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 28.9s   21° 07' 56.74"
05:17:50   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:17:50   [sync] pointing model updated
05:17:50   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:17:50   Target is now centered.
