03:16:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:16:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:16:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:16:24 User actions detected.
03:16:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:16:24 Dome is MaxDome
03:16:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:16:25 Imager is ASCOM
03:16:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:16:25 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220417@031202 UTC
03:16:25 Imager readout modes:
03:16:25   0 is Fast
03:16:25   1 is Normal
03:16:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:16:25 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:16:25 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:16:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:16:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:16:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:16:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:16:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:16:30 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
03:16:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
03:16:31   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:16:31 Pointing updates are enabled
03:16:31   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:16:32   (wait for slew to complete)
03:17:02   (slew complete)
03:17:02   Calling TargetStart user action.

03:17:02   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:17:02   Focus change of -270 steps required
03:17:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
03:17:14   (using Fast readout mode)
03:17:14   (starting [RBI] + exposure)

03:17:32   Image finished
03:17:33   Plate-solve pointing image.

03:17:37   146 catalog stars found
03:17:38   Solved! 31 stars matched.
03:17:38   Average residual is 0.19 arcsec.
