09:44:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:44:02 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:44:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:44:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:44:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:44:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:44:03 Dome is MaxDome
09:44:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:44:03 Imager is ASCOM
09:44:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:44:03 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@093116 UTC
09:44:03 Imager readout modes:
09:44:03   0 is Fast
09:44:03   1 is Normal
09:44:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:44:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:44:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:44:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:44:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:44:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:44:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:44:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:44:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:44:03 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
09:44:03 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
09:44:03   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
09:44:03   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:44:03 Pointing updates are enabled
09:44:03 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:44:03   Start slew to X_Ser...
09:44:05   (wait for slew to complete)

09:45:35   380 image stars found
09:45:36   193 catalog stars found
09:45:37   Solved! 74 stars matched.
09:45:37   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
09:45:37   Pointing error is 1.256 arcmin @ angle 277.34
09:45:37   True focal length is 3464.7 mm.
09:45:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:45:37   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 12.7s   -02° 29' 19.97"
09:45:37   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
09:45:37   [sync] pointing model updated
09:45:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:45:37   Target is now centered.
