02:37:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:37:58 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:37:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:37:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:37:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:37:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:37:59 Dome is MaxDome
02:37:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:37:59 Imager is ASCOM
02:37:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:37:59 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@023538 UTC
02:37:59 Imager readout modes:
02:37:59   0 is Fast
02:37:59   1 is Normal
02:37:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:37:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:37:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:37:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:37:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:37:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:37:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:37:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:37:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:38:41   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:38:41   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:38:44   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:38:44   (using Fast readout mode)
02:38:44   (starting exposure)

02:39:14   514 image stars found
02:39:14   279 catalog stars found
02:39:15   Solved! 140 stars matched.
02:39:15   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.

02:39:15   [sync] pointing model updated
02:39:15   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:39:15   Target is now centered.
