05:54:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:54:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:54:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:54:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:54:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:54:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:54:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:54:31 Dome is MaxDome
05:54:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:54:32 Imager is ASCOM
05:54:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:54:32 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240311@055322 UTC
05:54:32 Imager readout modes:
05:54:32   0 is Fast
05:54:32   1 is Normal
05:54:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:54:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:54:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:54:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:54:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:54:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:54:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:54:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:54:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:54:32 ==== Starting target NSV-6690 ====
05:54:32 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
05:54:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
05:54:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:54:32 Pointing updates are enabled
05:54:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:54:32   Start slew to NSV-6690...
05:54:34   (wait for slew to complete)

05:56:20   Image finished
05:56:20   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:56:21   300 image stars found
05:56:21   113 catalog stars found
05:56:22   Solved! 38 stars matched.
05:56:22   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
05:56:22   Pointing error is 1.254 arcmin @ angle 257.70
05:56:22   True focal length is 3466.9 mm.
05:56:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:56:22   True image center (J2000): 14h 30m 10.7s   23° 03' 28.47"
05:56:22   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:56:22   [sync] pointing model updated
05:56:22   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:56:22   Target is now centered.
05:56:22   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:56:22   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:56:22   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
05:56:22   Focus change of 320 steps required
05:56:26   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:56:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=775.3969 Y=376.6522
05:56:40   (guide star SNR=13.3 X=775 Y=376)
