08:59:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:59:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:59:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:59:50 User actions detected.
08:59:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:59:50 Dome is MaxDome
08:59:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:59:50 Imager is ASCOM
08:59:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:59:50 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230228@084907 UTC
08:59:50 Imager readout modes:
08:59:50   0 is Fast
08:59:50   1 is Normal
08:59:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:59:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:59:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:59:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:59:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:59:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:59:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
