04:31:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:31:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:31:17 Dome is MaxDome
04:31:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:31:18 Imager is ASCOM
04:31:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:31:18 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240219@042623 UTC
04:31:18 Imager readout modes:
04:31:18   0 is Fast
04:31:18   1 is Normal
04:31:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:31:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:31:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:31:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:31:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:31:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:31:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3

04:32:29   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:32:29   No focus change required
04:32:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:32:30   (using Fast readout mode)
04:32:30   (starting exposure)
04:32:50   (exposure complete)
04:32:53   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:32:54   Image finished
04:32:54   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:32:55   1068 image stars found
04:32:55   315 catalog stars found
04:32:56   Solved! 101 stars matched.
04:32:56   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
