11:51:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:51:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:51:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:51:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:51:27 Dome is MaxDome
11:51:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:51:27 Imager is ASCOM
11:51:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:51:27 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240217@114942 UTC
11:51:27 Imager readout modes:
11:51:27   0 is Fast
11:51:27   1 is Normal
11:51:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:51:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:51:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:51:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:51:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:51:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:51:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:51:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:51:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

11:51:58   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure

11:52:29   Solved! 133 stars matched.
11:52:29   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
