12:44:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
12:44:40 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:44:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:44:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:44:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:44:41 User actions detected.
12:44:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:44:41 Dome is MaxDome
12:44:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:44:42 Imager is ASCOM
12:44:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:44:42 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@124039 UTC
12:44:42 Imager readout modes:
12:44:42   0 is Fast
12:44:42   1 is Normal
12:44:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:44:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:44:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:44:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:44:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:44:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:44:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:44:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:44:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

12:46:10   357 catalog stars found
12:46:11   Solved! 138 stars matched.
12:46:11   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
12:46:11   Pointing error is 0.869 arcmin @ angle 47.92
12:46:11   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
12:46:11   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

12:46:11   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
12:46:11   [sync] pointing model updated
12:46:11   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:46:11   Target is now centered.
12:46:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:46:11   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
12:46:11   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
12:46:11   Focus change of 320 steps required
12:46:15   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:46:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=361.0534 Y=330.0629
