02:04:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:04:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:04:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:04:41 User actions detected.
02:04:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:04:41 Dome is MaxDome
02:04:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:04:41 Imager is ASCOM
02:04:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:04:41 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20221217@020327 UTC
02:04:41 Imager readout modes:
02:04:41   0 is Fast
02:04:41   1 is Normal
02:04:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:04:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:04:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:04:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:04:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:04:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:04:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:04:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:04:42 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:04:42 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
