Licensed to Arne Henden
05:45:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:45:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:45:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:45:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:45:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:45:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:45:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:45:16 Dome is MaxDome
05:45:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:45:16 Imager is ASCOM
05:45:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:45:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@054205 UTC
05:45:16 Imager readout modes:
05:45:16   0 is Fast
05:45:16   1 is Normal
05:45:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:45:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:45:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:45:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:45:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:45:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:45:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:45:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:45:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:45:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:45:17 Pointing updates are enabled
05:45:17 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:45:17   Start slew to PG_1424+240...

05:47:05   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:47:05   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:47:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)

05:47:38   Image finished
05:47:38   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:47:38   230 image stars found
05:47:38   102 catalog stars found
05:47:39   Solved! 16 stars matched.
05:47:39   Average residual is 0.44 arcsec.

05:47:39   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:47:39   [sync] pointing model updated
05:47:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:47:39   Target is now centered.
