10:24:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:24:49 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:24:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:24:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:24:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:24:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:24:50 Dome is MaxDome
10:24:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:24:50 Imager is ASCOM
10:24:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:24:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240221@102301 UTC
10:24:50 Imager readout modes:
10:24:50   0 is Fast
10:24:50   1 is Normal
10:24:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:24:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:24:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:24:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:24:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:24:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:24:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:24:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:24:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:26:27   Solved! 35 stars matched.
10:26:27   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
10:26:27   Pointing error is 0.640 arcmin @ angle 29.43
10:26:27   True focal length is 3465.6 mm.
10:26:27   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

10:26:27   [sync] pointing model updated
10:26:27   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:26:27   Target is now centered.
