05:05:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:05:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:05:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:05:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:05:38 Dome is MaxDome
05:05:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:05:38 Imager is ASCOM
05:05:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:05:38 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240311@050433 UTC
05:05:38 Imager readout modes:
05:05:38   0 is Fast
05:05:38   1 is Normal
05:05:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:05:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:05:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:05:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:05:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:05:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:05:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:05:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:05:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:07:05   137 catalog stars found
05:07:06   Solved! 50 stars matched.
05:07:06   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
