Licensed to Arne Henden
02:25:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:25:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:25:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:25:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:25:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:25:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:25:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:25:35 Dome is MaxDome
02:25:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:25:35 Imager is ASCOM
02:25:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:25:35 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240223@022501 UTC
02:25:35 Imager readout modes:
02:25:35   0 is Fast
02:25:35   1 is Normal
02:25:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:25:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:25:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:25:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:25:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:25:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:25:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:25:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:25:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:26:47   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:26:47   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:26:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:26:51   (using Fast readout mode)
02:26:51   (starting exposure)
02:27:16   (exposure complete)
02:27:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:27:19   Image finished

02:27:20   315 catalog stars found
02:27:21   Solved! 134 stars matched.
02:27:21   Average residual is 0.22 arcsec.
