06:47:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:47:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:47:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:47:01 User actions detected.
06:47:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:47:01 Dome is MaxDome
06:47:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:47:01 Imager is ASCOM
06:47:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:47:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230108@063013 UTC
06:47:01 Imager readout modes:
06:47:01   0 is Fast
06:47:01   1 is Normal
06:47:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:47:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:47:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:47:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:47:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:47:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:47:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:47:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:47:01 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:47:01 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
