08:26:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:26:29 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:26:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:26:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:26:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:26:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:26:30 Dome is MaxDome
08:26:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:26:30 Imager is ASCOM
08:26:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:26:30 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20231013@082150 UTC
08:26:30 Imager readout modes:
08:26:30   0 is Fast
08:26:30   1 is Normal
08:26:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:26:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:26:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:26:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:26:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:26:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:26:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:26:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:27:31   359 image stars found
08:27:31   202 catalog stars found
08:27:32   Solved! 67 stars matched.
08:27:32   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
08:27:32   Pointing error is 1.377 arcmin @ angle 68.49
08:27:32   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
08:27:32   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
