05:07:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:07:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:07:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:07:31 User actions detected.
05:07:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:07:31 Dome is MaxDome
05:07:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:07:31 Imager is ASCOM
05:07:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:07:31 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230108@050608 UTC
05:07:31 Imager readout modes:
05:07:31   0 is Fast
05:07:31   1 is Normal
05:07:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:07:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:07:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:07:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:07:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:07:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:07:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:07:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:07:31 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:07:31 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
