11:00:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:00:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
11:00:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:00:15 User actions detected.
11:00:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:00:15 Dome is MaxDome
11:00:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.21

11:00:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:00:15 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210224@105356 UTC
11:00:15 Imager readout modes:
11:00:15   0 is Image Quality
11:00:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:00:15 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:00:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:00:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:00:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
11:00:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
11:00:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:00:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

11:00:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:00:20 Pointing updates are enabled
11:00:20   Start slew to CH_Cyg...
11:00:22   (wait for slew to complete)
