This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
05:36:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:36:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:36:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:36:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:36:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:36:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:36:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:36:28 Dome is MaxDome
05:36:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:36:29 Imager is ASCOM
05:36:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:36:29 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@053457 UTC
05:36:29 Imager readout modes:
05:36:29   0 is Fast
05:36:29   1 is Normal
05:36:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:36:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:36:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:36:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:36:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:36:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:36:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:36:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:36:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:36:29 ==== Starting target Pal_5 ====
05:36:29 ACPS Observation Pal_5(1 of 1)
05:36:29   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan Pal_5)
05:36:29   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:36:29 Pointing updates are enabled
05:36:29 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:36:29   Start slew to Pal_5...
05:36:31   (wait for slew to complete)
05:36:40   (slew complete)
05:36:40   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

05:36:40   Imaging to Pal_5_SG_20240412_053640_T3
05:36:40   Switching from V to SG filter for imaging
05:36:40   Focus change of -240 steps required
05:36:44   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
05:36:44   (using Normal readout mode)
05:36:44   (starting exposure)
05:37:59   (exposure complete)
05:38:01   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:38:03   Image finished
05:38:03   Plate-solve Pal_5_SG_20240412_053640_T3 final image.
05:38:06   1390 image stars found
05:38:06   99 catalog stars found
05:38:08 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
