05:14:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:14:36 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:14:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:14:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:14:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:14:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:14:37 Dome is MaxDome
05:14:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:14:37 Imager is ASCOM
05:14:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:14:37 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@051117 UTC
05:14:37 Imager readout modes:
05:14:37   0 is Fast
05:14:37   1 is Normal
05:14:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:14:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:14:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:14:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:14:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:14:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:14:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:14:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:14:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:16:09   1550 image stars found
05:16:09   405 catalog stars found
05:16:10   Solved! 108 stars matched.
05:16:10   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
05:16:10   Pointing error is 4.552 arcmin @ angle 275.28
05:16:10   True focal length is 3469.3 mm.
05:16:10   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
