Licensed to Arne Henden
12:31:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:31:36 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:31:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:31:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:31:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:31:37 User actions detected.
12:31:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:31:37 Dome is MaxDome
12:31:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:31:37 Imager is ASCOM
12:31:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:31:37 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20221227@121524 UTC
12:31:37 Imager readout modes:
12:31:37   0 is Fast
12:31:37   1 is Normal
12:31:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:31:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:31:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:31:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:31:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:31:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:31:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:31:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:31:37 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:31:37 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used

12:32:18   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:32:18   No focus change required

12:32:42   107 image stars found
12:32:43   113 catalog stars found
12:32:44   Solved! 30 stars matched.
12:32:44   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
12:32:44   Pointing error is 1.598 arcmin @ angle 280.64
12:32:44   True focal length is 3465.5 mm.
12:32:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

12:32:45   [sync] pointing model updated
12:32:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:32:45   Target is now centered.
