Licensed to Arne Henden
04:22:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:22:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:22:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:22:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:22:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:22:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:22:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:22:10 Dome is MaxDome
04:22:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:22:10 Imager is ASCOM
04:22:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:22:10 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240412@042048 UTC
04:22:10 Imager readout modes:
04:22:10   0 is Fast
04:22:10   1 is Normal
04:22:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:22:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:22:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:22:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:22:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:22:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:22:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:22:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:22:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:22:10 ACPS Observation PG_1424+240(1 of 1)
04:22:10   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PG_1424+240)
04:22:10   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:22:10 Pointing updates are enabled
04:22:10 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:22:11   Start slew to PG_1424+240...

04:23:49   230 image stars found
04:23:49   102 catalog stars found
04:23:50   Solved! 46 stars matched.
04:23:50   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
04:23:50   Pointing error is 0.989 arcmin @ angle 267.42
04:23:50   True focal length is 3464.6 mm.
04:23:50   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:23:50   True image center (J2000): 14h 26m 56.0s   23° 47' 57.33"
04:23:50   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
04:23:50   [sync] pointing model updated
04:23:50   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:23:50   Target is now centered.
