04:14:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:14:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:14:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:14:13 User actions detected.
04:14:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:14:14 Dome is MaxDome
04:14:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:14:14 Imager is ASCOM
04:14:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:14:14 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220417@040024 UTC
04:14:14 Imager readout modes:
04:14:14   0 is Fast
04:14:14   1 is Normal
04:14:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:14:14 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:14:14 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:14:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:14:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:14:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:14:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:14:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:14:19 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)

04:15:11   Image finished
04:15:11   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:15:15   126 image stars found
04:15:15   109 catalog stars found
04:15:16 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.
