04:18:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:18:27 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:18:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:18:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:18:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:18:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:18:29 Dome is MaxDome
04:18:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:18:29 Imager is ASCOM
04:18:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:18:29 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@041510 UTC
04:18:29 Imager readout modes:
04:18:29   0 is Fast
04:18:29   1 is Normal
04:18:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:18:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:18:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:18:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:18:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:18:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:18:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:18:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:18:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:19:06   Updating pointing...
04:19:06   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:19:06   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:19:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:19:06   (using Fast readout mode)
04:19:06   (starting exposure)
04:19:32   (exposure complete)
04:19:35   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:19:36   Image finished
04:19:36   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:19:36   1213 image stars found
04:19:37   315 catalog stars found
04:19:38   Solved! 113 stars matched.
04:19:38   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
04:19:38   Pointing error is 3.022 arcmin @ angle 268.37
04:19:38   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
04:19:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
