03:13:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:13:13 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:13:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:13:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:13:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:13:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:13:14 Dome is MaxDome
03:13:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:13:15 Imager is ASCOM
03:13:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:13:15 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@030853 UTC
03:13:15 Imager readout modes:
03:13:15   0 is Fast
03:13:15   1 is Normal
03:13:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:13:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:13:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:13:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:13:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:13:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:13:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:13:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:13:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:13:15 ==== Starting target QZ_Aur ====

03:13:15   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:13:15 Pointing updates are enabled
03:13:15 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:13:15   Start slew to QZ_Aur...
03:13:17   (wait for slew to complete)
03:14:07   (slew complete)

03:14:07   Updating pointing...
03:14:07   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:14:07   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:14:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:14:11   (using Fast readout mode)
03:14:11   (starting exposure)
03:14:37   (exposure complete)
03:14:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:14:41   Image finished
03:14:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:14:42   1966 image stars found
03:14:42   486 catalog stars found
03:14:43   Solved! 225 stars matched.
03:14:43   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
03:14:43   Pointing error is 2.778 arcmin @ angle 274.46
03:14:43   True focal length is 3468.7 mm.
03:14:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
