05:41:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:41:12 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:41:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:41:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:41:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:41:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:41:13 Dome is MaxDome
05:41:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:41:13 Imager is ASCOM
05:41:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:41:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@053859 UTC
05:41:13 Imager readout modes:
05:41:13   0 is Fast
05:41:13   1 is Normal
05:41:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:41:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:41:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:41:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:41:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:41:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:41:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:41:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:41:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:41:13 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:41:13 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:41:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:41:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:41:13 Pointing updates are enabled
05:41:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:41:13   Start slew to IR_Com...
05:41:14   (wait for slew to complete)
05:42:25   (slew complete)

05:42:25   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:42:25   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:42:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:42:29   (using Fast readout mode)
05:42:29   (starting exposure)
05:42:53   (exposure complete)
05:42:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:42:56   Image finished
05:42:56   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:42:57   203 image stars found
05:42:58   151 catalog stars found
05:42:59   Solved! 44 stars matched.
05:42:59   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
05:42:59   Pointing error is 1.324 arcmin @ angle 84.03
05:42:59   True focal length is 3468.7 mm.
05:42:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:42:59   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 37.8s   21° 08' 14.65"

05:42:59   [sync] pointing model updated
05:42:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:42:59   Target is now centered.
