This is ACP version 8.3 (build 1, Release 8.3)
Licensed to Arne Henden
03:03:22 Turning on Tracking for AP mounts
03:03:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:03:23 User actions detected.
03:03:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:03:23 Dome is MaxDome
03:03:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:03:23 Imager is ASCOM
03:03:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:03:23 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20211201@132720 UTC
03:03:30 Imager readout modes:
03:03:30   0 is Fast
03:03:30   1 is Normal
03:03:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:03:30 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:03:30 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:03:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:03:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:03:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:03:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:03:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:03:36 ReadLine: Filter to use:
03:03:42 -> 12 "SR"
03:03:42 Autofocus through SR
03:03:44   Search 15 deg-square area for possible stars
03:03:47   Looking for stars between mags 9 and 10
03:03:50   Found mag 9.0 star, GSC 2287-1189; nothing within 372 arcsec.
03:03:51   Star J2000 coordinates RA=00:42:30 Dec=36° 20' 24"
03:03:51   Using star at mag 9.0. Slew to star.
03:03:51   Start slew to AutoFocus...
03:03:52   (wait for slew to complete)
03:04:02   (slew complete)
03:04:02   Updating pointing...
03:04:02   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:04:02   Focus change of -270 steps required
03:04:15   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
03:04:15   (using Fast readout mode)
03:04:15   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
03:04:30   (exposure complete)
03:04:32   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:04:34   Image finished
03:04:34   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:04:39   1179 image stars found
03:04:39   282 catalog stars found
03:04:48 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
03:04:48   Start slew to offset...
03:04:50   (wait for slew to complete)
03:04:59   (slew complete)

03:09:41   FocusMax auto-focus successful!
03:09:41     HFD = 7.56
03:09:41     Focus position = 4130
03:09:41   Slewing back to original position...
03:09:41   Start slew to AF return...
