05:38:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:38:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:38:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:38:45 User actions detected.
05:38:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:38:45 Dome is MaxDome
05:38:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:38:45 Imager is ASCOM
05:38:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:38:45 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230129@053814 UTC
05:38:45 Imager readout modes:
05:38:45   0 is Fast
05:38:45   1 is Normal
05:38:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:38:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:38:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:38:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:38:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:38:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:38:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:38:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:38:45 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:38:45 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
