08:32:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:32:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:32:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:32:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:32:47 Dome is MaxDome
08:32:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:32:47 Imager is ASCOM
08:32:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:32:47 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@083024 UTC
08:32:47 Imager readout modes:
08:32:47   0 is Fast
08:32:47   1 is Normal
08:32:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:32:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:32:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:32:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:32:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:32:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:32:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:32:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:32:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:32:47   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver3426, Plan M5-V84)
08:32:47   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:32:47 Pointing updates are enabled

08:34:25   207 catalog stars found
08:34:27   Solved! 34 stars matched.
08:34:27   Average residual is 0.41 arcsec.
08:34:27   Pointing error is 1.615 arcmin @ angle 266.12
