03:09:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:09:21 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:09:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:09:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:09:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:09:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:09:22 Dome is MaxDome
03:09:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:09:22 Imager is ASCOM
03:09:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:09:22 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@030550 UTC
03:09:22 Imager readout modes:
03:09:22   0 is Fast
03:09:22   1 is Normal
03:09:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:09:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:09:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:09:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:09:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:09:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:09:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:09:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:09:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:09:59   Updating pointing...
03:09:59   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:09:59   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:09:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:09:59   (using Fast readout mode)
03:09:59   (starting exposure)
03:10:25   (exposure complete)
03:10:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:10:29   Image finished

03:10:29   900 image stars found
03:10:30   391 catalog stars found
03:10:31   Solved! 144 stars matched.
03:10:31   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
03:10:31   Pointing error is 3.827 arcmin @ angle 270.90
