03:04:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:04:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:04:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:04:27 User actions detected.
03:04:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:04:27 Dome is MaxDome
03:04:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:04:27 Imager is ASCOM
03:04:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:04:27 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20211201@030333 UTC
03:04:27 Imager readout modes:
03:04:27   0 is Fast
03:04:27   1 is Normal
03:04:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:04:27 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:04:27 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:04:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:04:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:04:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:04:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)

03:05:09   Switching from SZ to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:05:09   Focus change of 50 steps required

03:05:38   231 catalog stars found
03:05:40   Solved! 81 stars matched.
03:05:40   Average residual is 0.2 arcsec.
03:05:40   Pointing error is 2.101 arcmin @ angle 310.97
03:05:40   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
