12:19:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:19:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:19:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:19:20 User actions detected.
12:19:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:19:20 Dome is MaxDome
12:19:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:19:20 Imager is ASCOM
12:19:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:19:20 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20221226@121501 UTC
12:19:20 Imager readout modes:
12:19:20   0 is Fast
12:19:20   1 is Normal
12:19:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:19:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:19:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:19:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:19:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:19:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:19:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:19:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:19:20 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:19:20 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
