02:42:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:42:50 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:42:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:42:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:42:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:42:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:42:51 Dome is MaxDome
02:42:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:42:51 Imager is ASCOM
02:42:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:42:51 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240417@024219 UTC
02:42:51 Imager readout modes:
02:42:51   0 is Fast
02:42:51   1 is Normal
02:42:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:42:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:42:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:42:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:42:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:42:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:42:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:42:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:42:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:42:51 ==== Starting target V838_Mon ====
02:42:51 ACPS Observation V838_Mon(1 of 1)
02:42:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P237_CWT_AUTO_ver3515, Plan V838_Mon)
02:42:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:42:51 Pointing updates are enabled
02:42:51 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:42:51   Start slew to V838_Mon...
02:42:53   (wait for slew to complete)
02:43:36   (slew complete)

02:43:36   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:43:36   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:43:39   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:43:39   (using Fast readout mode)
02:43:39   (starting exposure)
02:44:00   (exposure complete)
02:44:03   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:44:04   Image finished
02:44:04   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:44:04   1400 image stars found
02:44:04   483 catalog stars found
02:44:06   Solved! 188 stars matched.
02:44:06   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
02:44:06   Pointing error is 0.460 arcmin @ angle 345.46
02:44:06   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
02:44:06   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:44:06   True image center (J2000): 07h 04m 04.4s   -03° 50' 23.89"
02:44:06   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:44:06   [sync] pointing model updated
02:44:06   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:44:06   Target is now centered.
02:44:06   (high cadence option, no web previews)
