02:19:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:19:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:19:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:19:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:19:37 Dome is MaxDome
02:19:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:19:37 Imager is ASCOM
02:19:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:19:37 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20231013@021230 UTC
02:19:37 Imager readout modes:
02:19:37   0 is Fast
02:19:37   1 is Normal
02:19:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:19:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:19:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:19:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:19:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:19:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:19:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:19:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:20:44   310 catalog stars found
02:20:45   Solved! 107 stars matched.
02:20:45   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
02:20:45   Pointing error is 1.346 arcmin @ angle 248.84
02:20:45   True focal length is 3469.3 mm.
02:20:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
