11:17:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:17:09 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:17:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:17:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:17:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:17:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:17:10 Dome is MaxDome
11:17:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:17:11 Imager is ASCOM
11:17:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:17:11 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240328@111557 UTC
11:17:11 Imager readout modes:
11:17:11   0 is Fast
11:17:11   1 is Normal
11:17:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:17:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:17:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:17:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:17:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:17:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:17:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:17:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:17:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:17:11 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
11:17:11 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
11:17:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan M56_V6)
11:17:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:17:11 Pointing updates are enabled
11:17:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:17:11   Start slew to M56_V6...
11:17:12   (wait for slew to complete)

11:18:32   357 catalog stars found
11:18:33   Solved! 146 stars matched.
11:18:33   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
