09:46:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:46:11 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:46:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:46:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:46:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:46:12 User actions detected.
09:46:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:46:12 Dome is MaxDome
09:46:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:46:12 Imager is ASCOM
09:46:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:46:12 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240711@093900 UTC
09:46:12 Imager readout modes:
09:46:12   0 is Fast
09:46:12   1 is Normal
09:46:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:46:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:46:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:46:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:46:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:46:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:46:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:46:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:46:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:46:12 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
09:46:12 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
09:46:12   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
09:46:12   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:46:13 Pointing updates are enabled
09:46:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:46:13   Start slew to CG_Dra...
09:46:14   (wait for slew to complete)

09:46:54   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:46:54   Focus change of -290 steps required
09:46:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:46:58   (using Fast readout mode)
09:46:58   (starting exposure)

09:47:26   Image finished
09:47:26   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:47:27   692 image stars found
09:47:27   310 catalog stars found
09:47:28   Solved! 115 stars matched.
09:47:28   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
09:47:28   Pointing error is 1.269 arcmin @ angle 52.13
09:47:28   True focal length is 3464.1 mm.
09:47:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:47:28   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 39.4s   52° 59' 15.23"
09:47:28   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
09:47:28   [sync] pointing model updated
09:47:28   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:47:28   Target is now centered.
09:47:28   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:47:28   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:47:28   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
09:47:28   Focus change of -360 steps required
09:47:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:47:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=793.7513 Y=656.1729
