05:59:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:59:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:59:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:59:18 User actions detected.
05:59:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:59:18 Dome is MaxDome
05:59:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:59:18 Imager is ASCOM
05:59:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:59:18 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20221222@055803 UTC
05:59:18 Imager readout modes:
05:59:18   0 is Fast
05:59:18   1 is Normal
05:59:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:59:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:59:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:59:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:59:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:59:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:59:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:59:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:59:18 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:59:18 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
