Licensed to Arne Henden
07:35:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:35:00 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:35:00   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:35:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:35:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:35:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:35:02 User actions detected.
07:35:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:35:02 Dome is MaxDome
07:35:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:35:02 Imager is ASCOM
07:35:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:35:02 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250206@073218 UTC
07:35:02 Imager readout modes:
07:35:02   0 is Fast
07:35:02   1 is Normal
07:35:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:35:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:35:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:35:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:35:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:35:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:35:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:35:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:35:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:36:53   Solved! 33 stars matched.
07:36:53   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
07:36:53   Pointing error is 1.654 arcmin @ angle 59.29
07:36:53   True focal length is 3471.6 mm.
07:36:53   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:36:53   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:36:53   [sync] pointing model updated
07:36:53   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:36:53   Target is now centered.
