03:25:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:25:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:25:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:25:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:25:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:25:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:25:06 User actions detected.
03:25:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:25:06 Dome is MaxDome
03:25:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:25:06 Imager is ASCOM
03:25:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:25:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250115@032446 UTC
03:25:06 Imager readout modes:
03:25:06   0 is Fast
03:25:06   1 is Normal
03:25:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:25:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:25:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:25:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:25:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:25:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:25:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:25:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:25:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:26:44   91 catalog stars found
03:26:45   Solved! 14 stars matched.
03:26:45   Average residual is 0.42 arcsec.
03:26:45   Pointing error is 1.204 arcmin @ angle 350.79
03:26:45   True focal length is 3484.6 mm.
03:26:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

03:26:45   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:26:45   [sync] pointing model updated
03:26:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:26:45   Target is now centered.
