03:37:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:37:09 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:37:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:37:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:37:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:37:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:37:10 Dome is MaxDome
03:37:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:37:10 Imager is ASCOM
03:37:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:37:10 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240328@033516 UTC
03:37:10 Imager readout modes:
03:37:10   0 is Fast
03:37:10   1 is Normal
03:37:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:37:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:37:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:37:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:37:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:37:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:37:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:37:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:37:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:37:10 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
03:37:10 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
03:37:10   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
03:37:10   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:37:10 Pointing updates are enabled
03:37:10 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:37:10   Start slew to J072816...
03:37:12   (wait for slew to complete)
03:37:47   (slew complete)
03:37:47     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=5024s GW=T HAz=5504s DWz=T WF=no]
03:37:47   Updating pointing...
03:37:47   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:37:47   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:37:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:37:51   (using Fast readout mode)
03:37:51   (starting exposure)
03:38:16   (exposure complete)
03:38:19   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:38:20   Image finished
03:38:20   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:38:21   473 image stars found
03:38:21   313 catalog stars found
03:38:22   Solved! 125 stars matched.
03:38:22   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:38:22   Pointing error is 0.026 arcmin @ angle 170.66
03:38:22   True focal length is 3469.2 mm.
03:38:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:38:22   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 18.3s   75° 16' 13.68"
03:38:22   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:38:22   [sync] pointing model updated
03:38:22   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:38:22   Target is now centered.
03:38:22   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:38:22   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:38:22   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
