Licensed to Arne Henden
09:13:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:13:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:13:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:13:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:13:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:13:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:13:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:13:23 Dome is MaxDome
09:13:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:13:24 Imager is ASCOM
09:13:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:13:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@090643 UTC
09:13:24 Imager readout modes:
09:13:24   0 is Fast
09:13:24   1 is Normal
09:13:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:13:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:13:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:13:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:13:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:13:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:13:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:13:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:13:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:13:24 ==== Starting target V0406_Vul ====
09:13:24 ACPS Observation V0406_Vul(1 of 1)
09:13:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P194_BPEC_AUTO_ver2706, Plan V0406_Vul)
09:13:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:13:24 Pointing updates are enabled
09:13:24 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:13:24   Start slew to V0406_Vul...
09:13:25   (wait for slew to complete)

09:14:05   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:14:05   Focus change of -290 steps required
09:14:08   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:14:08   (using Fast readout mode)
09:14:09   (starting exposure)
09:14:33   (exposure complete)
09:14:36   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:14:37   Image finished
09:14:37   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:14:37   1604 image stars found
09:14:37   332 catalog stars found
09:14:39   Solved! 130 stars matched.
09:14:39   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
09:14:39   Pointing error is 1.550 arcmin @ angle 97.64
09:14:39   True focal length is 3467.3 mm.
09:14:39   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

09:14:39   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
09:14:39   [sync] pointing model updated
09:14:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:14:39   Target is now centered.
09:14:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:14:39   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:14:39   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging

09:14:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:14:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=423.1777 Y=468.3679
09:14:54   (guide star SNR=39.7 X=423 Y=469)
