10:36:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:36:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:36:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:36:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:36:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:36:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:36:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:36:52 Dome is MaxDome
10:36:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:36:52 Imager is ASCOM
10:36:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:36:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@103559 UTC
10:36:52 Imager readout modes:
10:36:52   0 is Fast
10:36:52   1 is Normal
10:36:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:36:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:36:52 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:36:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:36:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:36:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:36:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:36:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:36:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:37:46   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:37:46   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:37:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:37:50   (using Fast readout mode)
10:37:50   (starting exposure)

10:38:19   156 catalog stars found
10:38:20   Solved! 73 stars matched.
10:38:20   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
10:38:20   Pointing error is 1.130 arcmin @ angle 274.71
10:38:20   True focal length is 3470.0 mm.
10:38:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

10:38:20   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:38:20   [sync] pointing model updated
10:38:20   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:38:20   Target is now centered.
