Licensed to Arne Henden
04:24:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:24:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:24:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:24:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:24:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:24:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:24:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:24:57 Dome is MaxDome
04:24:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:24:57 Imager is ASCOM
04:24:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:24:57 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@042422 UTC
04:24:57 Imager readout modes:
04:24:57   0 is Fast
04:24:57   1 is Normal
04:24:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:24:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:24:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:24:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:24:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:24:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:24:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:24:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:24:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:25:47   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:25:47   Focus change of -320 steps required

04:26:21   178 image stars found
04:26:21   164 catalog stars found
04:26:22   Solved! 51 stars matched.
04:26:22   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
