05:21:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:21:28 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:21:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:21:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:21:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:21:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:21:29 Dome is MaxDome
05:21:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:21:30 Imager is ASCOM
05:21:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:21:30 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@052052 UTC
05:21:30 Imager readout modes:
05:21:30   0 is Fast
05:21:30   1 is Normal
05:21:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:21:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:21:30 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:21:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:21:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:21:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:21:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:21:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:21:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:21:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:22:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1022.452 Y=306.0387

05:23:40   3374 image stars found
05:23:40   238 catalog stars found
05:23:41   Solved! 62 stars matched.
05:23:42   Average residual is 0.19 arcsec.
05:23:42   Pointing error is 1.002 arcmin @ angle 103.25
05:23:42   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
05:23:42   True focal length is 3470.0 mm.
05:23:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
05:23:42   True image center (J2000): 16h 17m 06.6s   -22° 58' 47.67"
05:23:42   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:23:42   Image FWHM is 1.9 arcsec (4.22 pixels)
05:23:42   (avg FWHM = 1.85 arcsec)
05:23:42   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
