05:23:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:23:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:23:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:23:47 User actions detected.
05:23:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:23:47 Dome is MaxDome
05:23:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:23:47 Imager is ASCOM
05:23:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:23:47 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220514@052248 UTC
05:23:47 Imager readout modes:
05:23:47   0 is Fast
05:23:47   1 is Normal
05:23:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:23:47 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:23:47 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:23:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:23:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:23:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:23:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:23:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:23:53 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)

05:24:45   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:24:45   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:24:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
05:24:58   (using Fast readout mode)

05:25:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:25:22   693 image stars found
05:25:22   188 catalog stars found
05:25:22 ** Failed to solve plate, possibly due to input plate scale being too far off.

05:25:57   663 image stars found
05:25:58   214 catalog stars found
05:25:58 ** Failed to solve plate. Possibly due to a gross mismatch in the number of detected stars versus the number of catalog stars in the area.
