Licensed to Arne Henden
08:24:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:24:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:24:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:24:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:24:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:24:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:24:50 User actions detected.
08:24:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:24:50 Dome is MaxDome
08:24:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:24:50 Imager is ASCOM
08:24:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:24:50 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250207@082419 UTC
08:24:50 Imager readout modes:
08:24:50   0 is Fast
08:24:50   1 is Normal
08:24:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:24:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:24:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:24:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:24:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:24:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:24:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:24:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:24:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:24:57 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
08:24:57 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
08:24:57   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
08:24:57   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:24:58 Pointing updates are enabled

08:25:29   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:25:29   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:25:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:25:31   (using Fast readout mode)

08:25:51   209 image stars found
08:25:51   151 catalog stars found
08:25:53   Solved! 50 stars matched.
08:25:53   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
08:25:53   Pointing error is 1.237 arcmin @ angle 70.82
08:25:53   True focal length is 3467.3 mm.
08:25:53   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:25:53   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 37.1s   21° 08' 30.77"
08:25:53   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:25:53   [sync] pointing model updated
08:25:53   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:25:53   Target is now centered.
08:25:53   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:25:53   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:25:53   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
08:25:53   Focus change of 270 steps required
