09:45:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:45:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:45:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:45:44 User actions detected.
09:45:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:45:44 Dome is MaxDome
09:45:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:45:45 Imager is ASCOM
09:45:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:45:45 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230105@094512 UTC
09:45:45 Imager readout modes:
09:45:45   0 is Fast
09:45:45   1 is Normal
09:45:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:45:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:45:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:45:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:45:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:45:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:45:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:45:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:45:45 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
09:45:45 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
