08:09:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:09:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:09:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:09:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:09:43 Dome is MaxDome
08:09:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:09:43 Imager is ASCOM
08:09:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:09:43 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240213@080353 UTC
08:09:43 Imager readout modes:
08:09:43   0 is Fast
08:09:43   1 is Normal
08:09:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:09:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:09:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:09:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:09:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:09:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:09:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:09:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:09:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:09:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
08:09:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:09:44 Pointing updates are enabled
08:09:44 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:09:44   Start slew to U_Leo...
08:09:45   (wait for slew to complete)

08:10:24   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:10:24   Focus change of -270 steps required
