03:04:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:04:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:04:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:04:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:04:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:04:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:04:09 Dome is MaxDome
03:04:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:04:09 Imager is ASCOM
03:04:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:04:09 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240119@030238 UTC
03:04:09 Imager readout modes:
03:04:09   0 is Fast
03:04:09   1 is Normal
03:04:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:04:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:04:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:04:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:04:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:04:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:04:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:04:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:04:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:04:09 ==== Starting target QZ_Aur ====

03:05:06   Updating pointing...
03:05:06   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:05:06   Focus change of -270 steps required
03:05:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:05:06   (using Fast readout mode)
03:05:06   (starting exposure)
03:05:30   (exposure complete)
03:05:33   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:05:34   Image finished
03:05:34   Plate-solve pointing image.

03:05:34   486 catalog stars found
03:05:36   Solved! 192 stars matched.
03:05:36   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
