10:30:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:30:45 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:30:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:30:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:30:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:30:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:30:46 Dome is MaxDome
10:30:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:30:46 Imager is ASCOM
10:30:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:30:46 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240328@102943 UTC
10:30:46 Imager readout modes:
10:30:46   0 is Fast
10:30:46   1 is Normal
10:30:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:30:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:30:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:30:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:30:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:30:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:30:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:30:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:30:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:30:46 ==== Starting target FY_Aql ====
10:30:46 ACPS Observation FY_Aql(1 of 1)
10:30:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO_ver2413, Plan FY_Aql)
10:30:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:30:46 Pointing updates are enabled
10:30:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

10:32:23   973 catalog stars found
10:32:25   Solved! 117 stars matched.
10:32:25   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
