02:27:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:27:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:27:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:27:12 User actions detected.
02:27:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:27:12 Dome is MaxDome
02:27:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:27:12 Imager is ASCOM
02:27:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:27:12 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221227@022134 UTC
02:27:12 Imager readout modes:
02:27:12   0 is Fast
02:27:12   1 is Normal
02:27:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:27:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:27:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:27:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:27:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:27:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:27:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:27:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:27:13 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:27:13 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
