Licensed to Arne Henden
03:24:34 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
03:24:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:24:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:24:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:24:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:24:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:24:35 User actions detected.
03:24:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:24:35 Dome is MaxDome
03:24:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:24:36 Imager is ASCOM
03:24:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:24:36 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20211201@031656 UTC
03:24:36 Imager readout modes:
03:24:36   0 is Fast
03:24:36   1 is Normal
03:24:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:24:36 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:24:36 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:24:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:24:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:24:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:24:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:24:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:24:41 ACPS Observation GM_Aur(1 of 1)

03:24:41   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:24:41 Pointing updates are enabled
03:24:41   Start slew to GM_Aur...

03:26:19   Image finished
03:26:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:26:23   920 image stars found
03:26:23   231 catalog stars found
03:26:25   Solved! 78 stars matched.
03:26:25   Average residual is 0.18 arcsec.
03:26:25   Pointing error is 2.171 arcmin @ angle 304.66
03:26:25   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
03:26:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
03:26:25   True image center (J2000): 04h 55m 02.7s   30° 23' 13.76"
03:26:25   Imager sky position angle is 182.7 deg.
03:26:38   [sync] pointing model updated
03:26:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:26:39   Target is now centered.
