Licensed to Arne Henden
02:02:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:02:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:02:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:02:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:02:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:02:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:02:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:02:44 Dome is MaxDome
02:02:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:02:44 Imager is ASCOM
02:02:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:02:44 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20231013@020017 UTC
02:02:44 Imager readout modes:
02:02:44   0 is Fast
02:02:44   1 is Normal
02:02:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:02:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:02:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:02:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:02:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:02:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:02:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:02:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:03:14   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:03:14   Focus change of -50 steps required

02:03:42   Image finished
02:03:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:03:43   489 image stars found
02:03:43   307 catalog stars found
02:03:44   Solved! 115 stars matched.
02:03:44   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
02:03:44   Pointing error is 0.818 arcmin @ angle 197.47
02:03:44   True focal length is 3467.8 mm.
02:03:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:03:44   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 28.9s   67° 03' 58.96"
02:03:44   Imager sky position angle is 179.4 deg.
02:03:44   [sync] pointing model updated
02:03:44   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:03:44   Target is now centered.
