11:52:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:52:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:52:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:52:02 User actions detected.
11:52:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:52:02 Dome is MaxDome
11:52:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:52:02 Imager is ASCOM
11:52:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:52:02 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20221226@114926 UTC
11:52:02 Imager readout modes:
11:52:02   0 is Fast
11:52:02   1 is Normal
11:52:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:52:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:52:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:52:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:52:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:52:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:52:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:52:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:52:02 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:52:02 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
