12:29:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:29:02 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:29:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:29:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:29:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:29:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:29:03 Dome is MaxDome
12:29:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:29:03 Imager is ASCOM
12:29:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:29:03 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@122736 UTC
12:29:03 Imager readout modes:
12:29:03   0 is Fast
12:29:03   1 is Normal
12:29:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:29:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:29:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:29:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:29:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:29:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:29:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:29:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:29:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

12:29:03 ACPS Observation NSV_11749(1 of 1)
12:29:03   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSV_11749)
12:29:03   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:29:03 Pointing updates are enabled
12:29:03 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:29:03   Start slew to NSV_11749...
12:29:05   (wait for slew to complete)
12:30:16   (slew complete)

12:30:16   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:30:16   (using Fast readout mode)
12:30:16   (starting exposure)
12:30:32   (exposure complete)

12:30:36   Image finished
12:30:36   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:30:37   1568 image stars found
12:30:37   357 catalog stars found
12:30:38   Solved! 146 stars matched.
12:30:38   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
12:30:38   Pointing error is 1.860 arcmin @ angle 278.46
12:30:38   True focal length is 3466.4 mm.
12:30:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

12:30:38   [sync] pointing model updated
12:30:38   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:30:38   Target is now centered.
