03:41:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:41:49 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:41:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:41:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:41:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:41:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:41:50 Dome is MaxDome
03:41:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:41:50 Imager is ASCOM
03:41:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:41:50 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240412@034118 UTC
03:41:50 Imager readout modes:
03:41:50   0 is Fast
03:41:50   1 is Normal
03:41:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:41:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:41:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:41:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:41:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:41:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:41:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:41:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:41:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:41:50 ==== Starting target NSV-6690 ====
03:41:50 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
03:41:50   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
03:41:50   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:41:50 Pointing updates are enabled
03:41:50 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:41:50   Start slew to NSV-6690...
03:41:52   (wait for slew to complete)
03:42:22   (slew complete)

03:42:22   Updating pointing...
03:42:22   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:42:22   No focus change required
03:42:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:42:22   (using Fast readout mode)
03:42:22   (starting exposure)
03:42:42   (exposure complete)
03:42:44   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:42:45   Image finished
03:42:45   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:42:45   288 image stars found
03:42:46   113 catalog stars found
03:42:47   Solved! 19 stars matched.
03:42:47   Average residual is 0.4 arcsec.
03:42:47   Pointing error is 0.849 arcmin @ angle 248.58
03:42:47   True focal length is 3481.7 mm.
03:42:47   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:42:47   True image center (J2000): 14h 30m 12.6s   23° 03' 25.91"
03:42:47   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
03:42:47   [sync] pointing model updated
03:42:47   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:42:47   Target is now centered.
