02:22:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:22:36 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:22:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:22:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:22:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:22:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:22:37 Dome is MaxDome
02:22:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:22:37 Imager is ASCOM
02:22:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:22:37 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240128@021619 UTC
02:22:37 Imager readout modes:
02:22:37   0 is Fast
02:22:37   1 is Normal
02:22:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:22:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:22:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:22:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:22:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:22:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:22:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:22:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:22:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:24:39   315 catalog stars found
02:24:40   Solved! 130 stars matched.
02:24:40   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.

02:24:40   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
02:24:40   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
