03:47:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:47:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
03:47:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:47:15 User actions detected.
03:47:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:47:15 Dome is MaxDome
03:47:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
03:47:16 Imager is QSI Universal
03:47:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:47:16 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20210206@034639 UTC
03:47:16 Imager readout modes:
03:47:16   0 is Image Quality
03:47:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:47:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:47:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:47:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:47:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
03:47:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
03:47:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:47:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
