04:52:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:52:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:52:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:52:02 User actions detected.
04:52:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:52:02 Dome is MaxDome
04:52:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:52:03 Imager is ASCOM
04:52:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:52:03 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230105@045117 UTC
04:52:03 Imager readout modes:
04:52:03   0 is Fast
04:52:03   1 is Normal
04:52:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:52:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:52:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:52:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:52:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:52:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:52:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:52:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:52:03 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:52:03 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
