05:00:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:00:47 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:00:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:00:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:00:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:00:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:00:48 Dome is MaxDome
05:00:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:00:48 Imager is ASCOM
05:00:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:00:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@045954 UTC
05:00:48 Imager readout modes:
05:00:48   0 is Fast
05:00:48   1 is Normal
05:00:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:00:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:00:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:00:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:00:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:00:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:00:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:00:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:00:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:01:10   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:01:10   Focus change of -290 steps required

05:01:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:01:43   2468 image stars found
05:01:43   483 catalog stars found
05:01:44   Solved! 191 stars matched.
05:01:44   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
05:01:44   Pointing error is 1.571 arcmin @ angle 78.16
05:01:44   True focal length is 3467.9 mm.
05:01:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
