02:11:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:11:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:11:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:11:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:11:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:11:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:11:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:11:54 Dome is MaxDome
02:11:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:11:54 Imager is ASCOM
02:11:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:11:54 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240311@020601 UTC
02:11:54 Imager readout modes:
02:11:54   0 is Fast
02:11:54   1 is Normal
02:11:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:11:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:11:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:11:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:11:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:11:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:11:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:11:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:11:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:11:54 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
02:11:54 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
02:11:54   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
02:11:54   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:11:54 Pointing updates are enabled
02:11:54 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:11:54   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:11:56   (wait for slew to complete)
02:12:51   (slew complete)
02:12:51     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-6921s GW=T HAz=-6419s DWz=T WF=no]
02:12:51   Updating pointing...
02:12:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:12:51   (using Fast readout mode)
02:12:51   (starting exposure)
02:13:06   (exposure complete)
02:13:08   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:13:09   Image finished
02:13:09   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:13:10   337 image stars found
02:13:10   252 catalog stars found
02:13:11   Solved! 95 stars matched.
02:13:12   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:13:12   Pointing error is 1.725 arcmin @ angle 257.05
02:13:12   True focal length is 3466.4 mm.
02:13:12   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:13:12   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 26.4s   47° 50' 19.28"
02:13:12   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:13:12   [sync] pointing model updated
02:13:12   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:13:12   Target is now centered.
