Licensed to Arne Henden
02:17:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:17:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:17:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:17:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:17:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:17:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:17:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:17:06 Dome is MaxDome
02:17:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:17:06 Imager is ASCOM
02:17:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:17:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240311@021631 UTC
02:17:06 Imager readout modes:
02:17:06   0 is Fast
02:17:06   1 is Normal
02:17:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:17:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:17:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:17:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:17:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:17:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:17:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:17:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:17:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:17:06 ACPS Observation V838_Mon(1 of 1)
02:17:06   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P237_CWT_AUTO_ver3515, Plan V838_Mon)
02:17:06   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:17:07 Pointing updates are enabled
02:17:07 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

02:17:46   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:17:46   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:17:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:17:50   (using Fast readout mode)
02:17:50   (starting exposure)
02:18:16   (exposure complete)

02:18:20   Image finished
02:18:20   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:18:20   2762 image stars found
02:18:20   483 catalog stars found
02:18:21   Solved! 186 stars matched.
02:18:21   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
02:18:21   Pointing error is 1.667 arcmin @ angle 83.49
02:18:21   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
02:18:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

02:18:22   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:18:22   [sync] pointing model updated
02:18:22   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:18:22   Target is now centered.
