06:08:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:08:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:08:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:08:51 User actions detected.
06:08:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:08:51 Dome is MaxDome
06:08:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:08:51 Imager is ASCOM
06:08:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:08:51 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230113@060728 UTC
06:08:51 Imager readout modes:
06:08:51   0 is Fast
06:08:51   1 is Normal
06:08:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:08:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:08:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:08:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:08:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:08:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:08:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:08:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:08:51 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:08:51 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
