05:56:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:56:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:56:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:56:19 User actions detected.
05:56:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:56:19 Dome is MaxDome
05:56:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:56:19 Imager is ASCOM
05:56:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:56:19 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230113@055457 UTC
05:56:19 Imager readout modes:
05:56:19   0 is Fast
05:56:19   1 is Normal
05:56:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:56:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:56:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:56:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:56:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:56:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:56:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:56:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:56:19 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:56:19 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
