05:38:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:38:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:38:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:38:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:38:10 Dome is MaxDome
05:38:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:38:10 Imager is ASCOM
05:38:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:38:10 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240224@053620 UTC
05:38:10 Imager readout modes:
05:38:10   0 is Fast
05:38:10   1 is Normal
05:38:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:38:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:38:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:38:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:38:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:38:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:38:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:38:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:38:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:38:37   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:38:37   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:38:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:38:41   (using Fast readout mode)
05:38:41   (starting exposure)
05:39:07   (exposure complete)
