Licensed to Arne Henden
03:39:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:39:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:39:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:39:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:39:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:39:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:39:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:39:42 Dome is MaxDome
03:39:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:39:42 Imager is ASCOM
03:39:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:39:42 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240507@033840 UTC
03:39:42 Imager readout modes:
03:39:42   0 is Fast
03:39:42   1 is Normal
03:39:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:39:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:39:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:39:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:39:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:39:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:39:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:39:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:39:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:39:42   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan Mrk_180)
03:39:42   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:39:43 Pointing updates are enabled
03:39:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:39:43   Start slew to Mrk_180...

03:40:55   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:40:55   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:40:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)

03:41:27   260 image stars found
03:41:28   164 catalog stars found
03:41:29   Solved! 45 stars matched.
03:41:29   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
03:41:29   Pointing error is 1.281 arcmin @ angle 257.67
03:41:29   True focal length is 3471.8 mm.
03:41:29   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

03:41:29   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
03:41:29   [sync] pointing model updated
03:41:29   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:41:29   Target is now centered.
03:41:29   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:41:29   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:41:29   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
03:41:29   No focus change required
