03:31:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:31:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
03:31:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:31:55 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
03:31:55 Dome is MaxDome
03:31:55 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
03:31:55 Imager is QSI Universal
03:31:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:31:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180803@032802 UTC
03:31:55 Imager readout modes:
03:31:55   0 is Image Quality
03:31:55 Autoguiding is disabled
03:31:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:32:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
03:32:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
03:32:06 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:32:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:32:06 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:32:06 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
