10:25:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:25:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:25:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:25:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:25:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:25:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:25:42 User actions detected.
10:25:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:25:42 Dome is MaxDome
10:25:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:25:42 Imager is ASCOM
10:25:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:25:42 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250704@102226 UTC
10:25:42 Imager readout modes:
10:25:42   0 is Fast
10:25:42   1 is Normal
10:25:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:25:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:25:42 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:25:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:25:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:25:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:25:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:25:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:25:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:27:20   240 catalog stars found
10:27:21   Solved! 101 stars matched.
10:27:21   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
10:27:21   Pointing error is 1.297 arcmin @ angle 31.67
10:27:21   True focal length is 3470.9 mm.
10:27:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

10:27:21   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
10:27:21   [sync] pointing model updated
10:27:21   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:27:21   Target is now centered.
