Licensed to Arne Henden
04:33:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:33:45 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:33:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:33:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:33:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:33:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:33:47 Dome is MaxDome
04:33:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:33:47 Imager is ASCOM
04:33:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:33:47 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240311@043114 UTC
04:33:47 Imager readout modes:
04:33:47   0 is Fast
04:33:47   1 is Normal
04:33:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:33:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:33:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:33:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:33:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:33:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:33:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:33:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:33:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:33:47 ==== Starting target MP_Gem ====

04:33:47   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MP_Gem)
04:33:47   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:33:47 Pointing updates are enabled
04:33:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:33:47   Start slew to MP_Gem...
04:33:49   (wait for slew to complete)
04:34:19   (slew complete)

04:34:19   Updating pointing...
04:34:19   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:34:19   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:34:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:34:23   (using Fast readout mode)
04:34:23   (starting exposure)
04:34:49   (exposure complete)
04:34:52   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:34:53   Image finished
04:34:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:34:54   1908 image stars found
04:34:54   315 catalog stars found
04:34:55   Solved! 156 stars matched.
04:34:55   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
04:34:55   Pointing error is 3.115 arcmin @ angle 273.14
04:34:55   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
04:34:55   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:34:55   True image center (J2000): 06h 48m 20.2s   19° 37' 24.51"
