06:59:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:59:27 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:59:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:59:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:59:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:59:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:59:28 Dome is MaxDome
06:59:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:59:28 Imager is ASCOM
06:59:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:59:28 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240328@065140 UTC
06:59:28 Imager readout modes:
06:59:28   0 is Fast
06:59:28   1 is Normal
06:59:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:59:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:59:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:59:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:59:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:59:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:59:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:59:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:59:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:59:28 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
06:59:28 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
06:59:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
06:59:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:59:28 Pointing updates are enabled
06:59:28 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:59:28   Start slew to IX_Dra...
06:59:30   (wait for slew to complete)
07:01:11   (slew complete)

07:01:11   Updating pointing...
07:01:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:01:11   (using Fast readout mode)
07:01:11   (starting exposure)
07:01:28   (exposure complete)
07:01:30   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:01:32   Image finished
07:01:32   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:01:32   399 image stars found
07:01:32   307 catalog stars found
07:01:34   Solved! 121 stars matched.
07:01:34   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
07:01:34   Pointing error is 1.532 arcmin @ angle 106.59
07:01:34   True focal length is 3466.0 mm.
07:01:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:01:34   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 46.5s   67° 04' 19.51"
07:01:34   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
07:01:34   [sync] pointing model updated
07:01:34   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:01:34   Target is now centered.
