04:53:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:53:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:53:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:53:23 User actions detected.
04:53:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:53:24 Dome is MaxDome
04:53:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:53:24 Imager is ASCOM
04:53:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:53:24 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230110@045049 UTC
04:53:24 Imager readout modes:
04:53:24   0 is Fast
04:53:24   1 is Normal
04:53:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:53:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:53:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:53:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:53:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:53:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:53:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:53:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:53:24 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:53:24 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
