08:29:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:29:05 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:29:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:29:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:29:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:29:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:29:06 Dome is MaxDome
08:29:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:29:06 Imager is ASCOM
08:29:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:29:06 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@082234 UTC
08:29:06 Imager readout modes:
08:29:06   0 is Fast
08:29:06   1 is Normal
08:29:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:29:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:29:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:29:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:29:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:29:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:29:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:29:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:29:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:29:06 ACPS Observation M5-V42(1 of 1)
08:29:06   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver3426, Plan M5-V42)
08:29:06   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:29:06 Pointing updates are enabled
08:29:06 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

08:30:44   1194 image stars found
08:30:44   205 catalog stars found
08:30:49   Solved! 19 stars matched.
08:30:49   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
08:30:49   Pointing error is 1.039 arcmin @ angle 275.86
08:30:49   True focal length is 3509.5 mm.
08:30:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.88 V = 0.90
08:30:49   True image center (J2000): 15h 18m 20.6s   02° 02' 59.57"
08:30:49   Imager sky position angle is 178.5 deg.
08:30:49   [sync] pointing model updated
08:30:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:30:49   Target is now centered.
