03:40:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:40:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:40:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:40:19 User actions detected.
03:40:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:40:20 Dome is MaxDome
03:40:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:40:20 Imager is ASCOM
03:40:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:40:20 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220514@032635 UTC
03:40:20 Imager readout modes:
03:40:20   0 is Fast
03:40:20   1 is Normal
03:40:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:40:20 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:40:20 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:40:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:40:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:40:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:40:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:40:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:40:25 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
03:40:25   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
03:40:25   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:40:25 Pointing updates are enabled
03:40:25   Start slew to U_Leo...

03:41:02   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:41:02   Focus change of -270 steps required
03:41:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
03:41:14   (using Fast readout mode)
03:41:14   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
