04:18:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:18:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:18:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:18:54 User actions detected.
04:18:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:18:54 Dome is MaxDome
04:18:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:18:54 Imager is ASCOM
04:18:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:18:54 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20230109@041611 UTC
04:18:54 Imager readout modes:
04:18:54   0 is Fast
04:18:54   1 is Normal
04:18:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:18:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:18:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:18:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:18:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:18:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:18:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:18:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:18:54 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:18:54 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
