07:32:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:32:21 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:32:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:32:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:32:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:32:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:32:23 Dome is MaxDome
07:32:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:32:23 Imager is ASCOM
07:32:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:32:23 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@072208 UTC
07:32:23 Imager readout modes:
07:32:23   0 is Fast
07:32:23   1 is Normal
07:32:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:32:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:32:23 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:32:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:32:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:32:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:32:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:32:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:32:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:32:30 ACPS Observation V2493_Cyg(1 of 1)
07:32:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan V2493_Cyg)
07:32:30   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:32:31 Pointing updates are enabled
07:32:31 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:32:31   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
07:32:32   (wait for slew to complete)
07:33:33   (slew complete)

07:33:33   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:33:33   Focus change of -50 steps required
07:33:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:33:35   (using Fast readout mode)
07:33:35   (starting exposure)
07:33:55   (exposure complete)
07:33:57   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:33:57   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.5
07:33:58   Focuser position = 3338
07:33:58   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.7
07:33:58   Image finished
07:33:58   Plate-solve pointing image.

07:33:59   212 catalog stars found
07:34:00   Solved! 81 stars matched.
07:34:00   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
07:34:00   Pointing error is 1.626 arcmin @ angle 72.78

07:34:00   [sync] pointing model updated
07:34:00   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:34:00   Target is now centered.
