12:27:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:27:20 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:27:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:27:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:27:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:27:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:27:22 Dome is MaxDome
12:27:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:27:22 Imager is ASCOM
12:27:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:27:22 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240127@122410 UTC
12:27:22 Imager readout modes:
12:27:22   0 is Fast
12:27:22   1 is Normal
12:27:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:27:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:27:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:27:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:27:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:27:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:27:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:27:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:27:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

12:29:06   281 catalog stars found
12:29:07   Solved! 96 stars matched.
12:29:07   Average residual is 0.4 arcsec.
