03:46:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:46:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:46:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:46:59 User actions detected.
03:46:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:46:59 Dome is MaxDome
03:46:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:46:59 Imager is ASCOM
03:46:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:46:59 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20211230@034622 UTC
03:46:59 Imager readout modes:
03:46:59   0 is Fast
03:46:59   1 is Normal
03:46:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:46:59 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:46:59 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:46:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:47:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:47:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:47:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:47:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
