03:50:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:50:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:50:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:50:19 User actions detected.
03:50:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:50:20 Dome is MaxDome
03:50:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:50:20 Imager is ASCOM
03:50:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:50:20 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230108@034854 UTC
03:50:20 Imager readout modes:
03:50:20   0 is Fast
03:50:20   1 is Normal
03:50:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:50:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:50:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:50:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:50:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:50:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:50:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:50:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:50:20 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:50:20 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
