This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:36:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:36:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:36:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:36:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:36:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:36:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:36:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:36:14 Dome is MaxDome
06:36:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:36:14 Imager is ASCOM
06:36:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:36:14 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@063443 UTC
06:36:14 Imager readout modes:
06:36:14   0 is Fast
06:36:14   1 is Normal
06:36:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:36:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:36:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:36:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:36:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:36:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:36:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:36:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:36:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:36:14 ==== Starting target Pal_5 ====
06:36:14 ACPS Observation Pal_5(1 of 1)
06:36:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan Pal_5)
06:36:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:36:15 Pointing updates are enabled
06:36:15 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:36:15   Start slew to Pal_5...
06:36:16   (wait for slew to complete)
06:36:26   (slew complete)
06:36:26   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

06:36:26   Switching from V to SG filter for imaging
06:36:26   Focus change of -240 steps required
06:36:29   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
06:36:29   (using Normal readout mode)

06:37:48   Plate-solve Pal_5_SG_20240328_063626_T3 final image.
06:37:51   784 image stars found
06:37:51   99 catalog stars found
06:37:52 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
