Licensed to Arne Henden
03:36:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:36:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:36:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:36:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:36:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:36:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:36:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:36:36 Dome is MaxDome
03:36:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:36:36 Imager is ASCOM
03:36:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:36:36 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@033006 UTC
03:36:36 Imager readout modes:
03:36:36   0 is Fast
03:36:36   1 is Normal
03:36:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:36:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:36:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:36:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:36:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:36:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:36:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:36:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:36:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:36:36 ==== Starting target PKS_1222+216 ====
03:36:36 ACPS Observation PKS_1222+216(1 of 1)
03:36:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PKS_1222+216)
03:36:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:36:36 Pointing updates are enabled
03:36:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:36:36   Start slew to PKS_1222+216...
03:36:38   (wait for slew to complete)
03:38:09   (slew complete)

03:38:09   Updating pointing...
03:38:09   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:38:09   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:38:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:38:13   (using Fast readout mode)
03:38:13   (starting exposure)
03:38:37   (exposure complete)
03:38:39   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:38:41   Image finished
03:38:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:38:41   224 image stars found
03:38:42   137 catalog stars found
03:38:43   Solved! 47 stars matched.
03:38:43   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
03:38:43   Pointing error is 1.110 arcmin @ angle 281.32
03:38:43   True focal length is 3473.7 mm.
03:38:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:38:43   True image center (J2000): 12h 24m 49.7s   21° 22' 59.07"
03:38:43   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:38:43   [sync] pointing model updated
03:38:43   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:38:43   Target is now centered.
03:38:43   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:38:43   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:38:43   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
03:38:43   No focus change required
03:38:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
