09:31:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:31:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
09:31:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:31:50 User actions detected.
09:31:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:31:50 Dome is MaxDome
09:31:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:31:50 Imager is ASCOM
09:31:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:31:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20220416@092959 UTC
09:31:50 Imager readout modes:
09:31:50   0 is Fast
09:31:50   1 is Normal
09:31:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:31:50 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:31:50 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:31:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:31:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:31:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:31:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:31:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:31:55 ACPS Observation NGC_6366(1 of 1)
