Licensed to Arne Henden
02:54:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:54:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:54:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:54:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:54:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:54:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:54:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:54:25 Dome is MaxDome
02:54:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:54:25 Imager is ASCOM
02:54:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:54:25 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@025321 UTC
02:54:25 Imager readout modes:
02:54:25   0 is Fast
02:54:25   1 is Normal
02:54:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:54:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:54:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:54:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:54:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:54:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:54:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:54:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:54:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:54:25 ==== Starting target FS_Aur ====
02:54:25 ACPS Observation FS_Aur(1 of 1)
02:54:25   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan FS_Aur)
02:54:25   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:54:25 Pointing updates are enabled
02:54:25 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:54:25   Start slew to FS_Aur...
02:54:27   (wait for slew to complete)
02:55:14   (slew complete)

02:55:14   Updating pointing...
02:55:14   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:55:14   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:55:18   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:55:18   (using Fast readout mode)
02:55:18   (starting exposure)
02:55:43   (exposure complete)
02:55:46   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:55:47   Image finished
02:55:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:55:48   1828 image stars found
02:55:48   337 catalog stars found
02:55:49   Solved! 168 stars matched.
02:55:49   Average residual is 0.22 arcsec.
02:55:49   Pointing error is 1.356 arcmin @ angle 84.60
02:55:49   True focal length is 3469.3 mm.
02:55:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:55:49   True image center (J2000): 05h 47m 54.5s   28° 35' 19.66"
02:55:49   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:55:49   [sync] pointing model updated
02:55:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:55:49   Target is now centered.
02:55:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:55:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:55:49   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
