03:44:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:44:09 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:44:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:44:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:44:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:44:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:44:10 Dome is MaxDome
03:44:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:44:10 Imager is ASCOM
03:44:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:44:10 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250527@034338 UTC
03:44:10 Imager readout modes:
03:44:10   0 is Fast
03:44:10   1 is Normal
03:44:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:44:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:44:10 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:44:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:44:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:44:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:44:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:44:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:44:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:44:19 ==== Starting target NGC_5634 ====
03:44:19 ACPS Observation NGC_5634(1 of 1)
03:44:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_5634)
03:44:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:44:19 Pointing updates are enabled
03:44:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:44:19   Start slew to NGC_5634...
03:44:20   (wait for slew to complete)
03:44:45   (slew complete)

03:44:45   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:44:45   Focus change of -50 steps required
03:44:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:44:48   (using Fast readout mode)
03:44:48   (starting exposure)
03:45:07   (exposure complete)
03:45:09   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:45:09   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.8
03:45:10   Focuser position = 3324
03:45:10   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.1
03:45:10   Image finished
03:45:10   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:45:11   446 image stars found
03:45:11   167 catalog stars found
03:45:13   Solved! 41 stars matched.
03:45:13   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:45:13   Pointing error is 1.752 arcmin @ angle 92.89
03:45:13   True focal length is 3472.4 mm.
03:45:13   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

03:45:13   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:45:13   [sync] pointing model updated
03:45:13   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:45:13   Target is now centered.
03:45:13   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:45:13   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
