07:20:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:20:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:20:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:20:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:20:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:20:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:20:09 Dome is MaxDome
07:20:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:20:09 Imager is ASCOM
07:20:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:20:09 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@071743 UTC
07:20:09 Imager readout modes:
07:20:09   0 is Fast
07:20:09   1 is Normal
07:20:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:20:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:20:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:20:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:20:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:20:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:20:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:20:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:20:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:21:47   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:21:47   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:21:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:21:50   (using Fast readout mode)

07:22:18   Image finished
07:22:18   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:22:19   224 image stars found
07:22:19   113 catalog stars found
07:22:21   Solved! 35 stars matched.
07:22:21   Average residual is 0.42 arcsec.
07:22:21   Pointing error is 1.107 arcmin @ angle 242.82
07:22:21   True focal length is 3466.4 mm.
07:22:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:22:21   [sync] pointing model updated
07:22:21   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
