05:06:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:06:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:06:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:06:59 User actions detected.
05:06:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:06:59 Dome is MaxDome
05:06:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:06:59 Imager is ASCOM
05:06:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:06:59 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221222@045616 UTC
05:06:59 Imager readout modes:
05:06:59   0 is Fast
05:06:59   1 is Normal
05:06:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:06:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:06:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:06:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:06:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:06:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:06:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:06:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:06:59 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:06:59 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
