08:31:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:31:27 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:31:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:31:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:31:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:31:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:31:28 Dome is MaxDome
08:31:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:31:28 Imager is ASCOM
08:31:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:31:28 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240328@083027 UTC
08:31:28 Imager readout modes:
08:31:28   0 is Fast
08:31:28   1 is Normal
08:31:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:31:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:31:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:31:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:31:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:31:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:31:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:31:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:31:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:31:28 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
08:31:28 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
08:31:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
08:31:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:31:28 Pointing updates are enabled
08:31:28 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

08:33:26   837 image stars found
08:33:26   310 catalog stars found
08:33:27   Solved! 129 stars matched.
08:33:27   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
08:33:27   Pointing error is 1.586 arcmin @ angle 105.33
08:33:27   True focal length is 3466.1 mm.
08:33:27   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:33:27   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 42.9s   52° 58' 03.32"

08:33:28   [sync] pointing model updated
08:33:28   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:33:28   Target is now centered.
