Licensed to Arne Henden
01:55:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:55:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:55:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:55:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:55:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:55:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:55:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:55:16 Dome is MaxDome
01:55:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:55:16 Imager is ASCOM
01:55:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:55:16 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20231013@014857 UTC
01:55:16 Imager readout modes:
01:55:16   0 is Fast
01:55:16   1 is Normal
01:55:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:55:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:55:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:55:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:55:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:55:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:55:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:55:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

01:55:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:55:16 Pointing updates are enabled
01:55:16 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

01:56:08   Solved! 97 stars matched.
01:56:08   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
