07:47:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:47:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:47:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:47:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:47:47 Dome is MaxDome
07:47:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:47:47 Imager is ASCOM
07:47:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:47:47 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@074511 UTC
07:47:47 Imager readout modes:
07:47:47   0 is Fast
07:47:47   1 is Normal
07:47:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:47:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:47:47 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:47:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:47:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:47:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:47:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:47:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:47:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:48:27   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:48:27   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:48:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:48:30   (using Fast readout mode)

07:49:00   Solved! 154 stars matched.
07:49:00   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
07:49:00   Pointing error is 0.927 arcmin @ angle 37.47
07:49:00   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
