05:00:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:00:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
05:00:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:00:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:00:41 Dome is MaxDome
05:00:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
05:00:42 Imager is QSI Universal
05:00:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:00:42 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20201012@045458 UTC
05:00:42 Imager readout modes:
05:00:42   0 is Image Quality
05:00:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:00:42 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:00:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:00:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:00:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
05:00:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
