03:23:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:23:05 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:23:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:23:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:23:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:23:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:23:06 Dome is MaxDome
03:23:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:23:06 Imager is ASCOM
03:23:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:23:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240223@032109 UTC
03:23:06 Imager readout modes:
03:23:06   0 is Fast
03:23:06   1 is Normal
03:23:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:23:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:23:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:23:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:23:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:23:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:23:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:23:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:23:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:23:28   Updating pointing...
03:23:28   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:23:28   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:23:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:23:32   (using Fast readout mode)
03:23:32   (starting exposure)
03:23:58   (exposure complete)
03:24:01   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:24:02   Image finished
03:24:02   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:24:02   1441 image stars found
03:24:02   315 catalog stars found
03:24:03   Solved! 139 stars matched.
03:24:03   Average residual is 0.23 arcsec.
03:24:03   Pointing error is 3.274 arcmin @ angle 273.06
03:24:04   True focal length is 3467.8 mm.
03:24:04   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
