Licensed to Arne Henden
05:32:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:32:37 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:32:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:32:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:32:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:32:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:32:39 Dome is MaxDome
05:32:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:32:39 Imager is ASCOM
05:32:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:32:39 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240224@053203 UTC
05:32:39 Imager readout modes:
05:32:39   0 is Fast
05:32:39   1 is Normal
05:32:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:32:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:32:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:32:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:32:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:32:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:32:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:32:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:32:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:32:39 ACPS Observation V838_Mon(1 of 1)
05:32:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V838_Mon)
05:32:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:32:39 Pointing updates are enabled
05:32:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

05:33:14   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:33:14   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:33:18   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:33:18   (using Fast readout mode)
05:33:18   (starting exposure)
05:33:44   (exposure complete)
05:33:46   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:33:48   Image finished
05:33:48   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:33:48   1473 image stars found
05:33:48   483 catalog stars found
05:33:49   Solved! 183 stars matched.
05:33:49   Average residual is 0.24 arcsec.
05:33:49   Pointing error is 1.748 arcmin @ angle 71.55
05:33:49   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
05:33:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

05:33:49   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:33:50   [sync] pointing model updated
05:33:50   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:33:50   Target is now centered.
05:33:50   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:33:50   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:33:50   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
