09:32:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:32:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:32:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:32:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:32:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:32:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:32:43 User actions detected.
09:32:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:32:43 Dome is MaxDome
09:32:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:32:43 Imager is ASCOM
09:32:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:32:43 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240711@093124 UTC
09:32:43 Imager readout modes:
09:32:43   0 is Fast
09:32:43   1 is Normal
09:32:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:32:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:32:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:32:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:32:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:32:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:32:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:32:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:32:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:32:44 Pointing updates are enabled
09:32:44 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:32:44   Start slew to V1323_Her...
09:32:45   (wait for slew to complete)
09:33:20   (slew complete)

09:33:39   325 catalog stars found
09:33:40   Solved! 108 stars matched.
09:33:40   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
09:33:40   Pointing error is 1.503 arcmin @ angle 48.84
09:33:40   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.

09:33:40   [sync] pointing model updated
09:33:40   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:33:40   Target is now centered.
