09:47:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:47:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
09:47:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:47:01 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
09:47:01 Dome is MaxDome
09:47:01 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
09:47:01 Imager is QSI Universal
09:47:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:47:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180904@093224 UTC
09:47:01 Imager readout modes:
09:47:01   0 is Image Quality
09:47:01 Autoguiding is disabled
09:47:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:47:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
09:47:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
09:47:13 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:47:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:47:13 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
09:47:13 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
