03:52:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:52:14 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:52:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:52:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:52:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:52:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:52:15 Dome is MaxDome
03:52:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:52:15 Imager is ASCOM
03:52:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:52:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@035038 UTC
03:52:15 Imager readout modes:
03:52:15   0 is Fast
03:52:15   1 is Normal
03:52:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:52:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:52:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:52:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:52:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:52:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:52:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:52:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:52:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:53:40   150 catalog stars found
03:53:41   Solved! 50 stars matched.
03:53:41   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.

03:53:41   [sync] pointing model updated
03:53:41   Re-slew to target.
03:53:41   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:53:42   (wait for slew to complete)
