Licensed to Arne Henden
10:27:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:27:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:27:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:27:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:27:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:27:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:27:39 User actions detected.
10:27:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:27:39 Dome is MaxDome
10:27:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:27:39 Imager is ASCOM
10:27:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:27:39 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250629@102659 UTC
10:27:39 Imager readout modes:
10:27:39   0 is Fast
10:27:39   1 is Normal
10:27:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:27:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:27:39 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:27:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:27:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:27:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:27:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:27:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:27:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:29:12   [sync] pointing model updated
10:29:12   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:29:12   Target is now centered.
