10:09:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:09:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:09:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:09:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:09:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:09:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:09:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:09:12 Dome is MaxDome
10:09:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:09:13 Imager is ASCOM
10:09:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:09:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@095738 UTC
10:09:13 Imager readout modes:
10:09:13   0 is Fast
10:09:13   1 is Normal
10:09:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:09:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:09:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:09:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:09:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:09:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:09:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:09:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:09:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:09:13 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
10:09:13 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
10:09:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
10:09:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:09:13 Pointing updates are enabled
10:09:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:09:13   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
10:09:14   (wait for slew to complete)
10:10:00   (slew complete)

10:10:00   Updating pointing...
10:10:00   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:10:00   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:10:04   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:10:04   (using Fast readout mode)
10:10:04   (starting exposure)
10:10:29   (exposure complete)
10:10:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:10:32   Image finished
10:10:32   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:10:33   509 image stars found
10:10:33   331 catalog stars found
10:10:34   Solved! 151 stars matched.
10:10:34   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
10:10:34   Pointing error is 0.702 arcmin @ angle 127.62
10:10:34   True focal length is 3464.5 mm.
10:10:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:10:34   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 19.4s   44° 00' 42.87"
10:10:34   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:10:34   [sync] pointing model updated
10:10:34   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:10:34   Target is now centered.
