12:02:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:02:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
12:02:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:02:04 User actions detected.
12:02:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:02:04 Dome is MaxDome
12:02:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.21

12:02:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:02:04 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210209@115542 UTC
12:02:04 Imager readout modes:
12:02:04   0 is Image Quality
12:02:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:02:04 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:02:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:02:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:02:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
12:02:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
12:02:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:02:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:02:09 ACPS Observation CH_Cyg(1 of 1)

12:02:09   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:02:09 Pointing updates are enabled
12:02:09   Start slew to CH_Cyg...
12:02:11   (wait for slew to complete)
