05:02:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:02:31 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:02:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:02:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:02:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:02:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:02:32 Dome is MaxDome
05:02:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:02:32 Imager is ASCOM
05:02:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:02:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20231013@050124 UTC
05:02:32 Imager readout modes:
05:02:32   0 is Fast
05:02:32   1 is Normal
05:02:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:02:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:02:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:02:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:02:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:02:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:02:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:02:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:03:54   Solved! 182 stars matched.
05:03:54   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
