11:48:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:48:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:48:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:48:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:48:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:48:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:48:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:48:44 Dome is MaxDome
11:48:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:48:44 Imager is ASCOM
11:48:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:48:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@114750 UTC
11:48:44 Imager readout modes:
11:48:44   0 is Fast
11:48:44   1 is Normal
11:48:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:48:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:48:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:48:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:48:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:48:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:48:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:48:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:48:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:48:44 ==== Starting target KU_Cyg ====
11:48:44 ACPS Observation KU_Cyg(1 of 1)
11:48:44   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KU_Cyg)
11:48:44   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:48:44 Pointing updates are enabled
11:48:44 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:48:44   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
11:48:46   (wait for slew to complete)
11:49:11   (slew complete)
11:49:11     [flip check:  Tn=440s HAc=-18937s GW=T HAz=-18497s DWz=T WF=no]
11:49:11   Updating pointing...
11:49:11   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:49:11   Focus change of -290 steps required
11:49:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:49:15   (using Fast readout mode)
11:49:15   (starting exposure)
11:49:40   (exposure complete)
11:49:42   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:49:44   Image finished
11:49:44   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:49:44   712 image stars found
11:49:44   407 catalog stars found
11:49:45   Solved! 129 stars matched.
11:49:45   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
11:49:45   Pointing error is 0.482 arcmin @ angle 227.37
11:49:45   True focal length is 3464.1 mm.
11:49:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:49:45   True image center (J2000): 20h 12m 43.0s   47° 23' 21.81"
11:49:45   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:49:45   [sync] pointing model updated
11:49:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:49:45   Target is now centered.
