02:33:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:33:30 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:33:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:33:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:33:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:33:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:33:31 Dome is MaxDome
02:33:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:33:32 Imager is ASCOM
02:33:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:33:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@023258 UTC
02:33:32 Imager readout modes:
02:33:32   0 is Fast
02:33:32   1 is Normal
02:33:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:33:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:33:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:33:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:33:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:33:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:33:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:33:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:33:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:34:49   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:34:49   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:34:53   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:34:53   (using Fast readout mode)
02:34:53   (starting exposure)
02:35:17   (exposure complete)
02:35:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:35:21   Image finished
02:35:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:35:21   1599 image stars found
02:35:22   315 catalog stars found
02:35:23   Solved! 137 stars matched.
02:35:23   Average residual is 0.22 arcsec.
