12:23:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:23:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
12:23:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:23:31 User actions detected.
12:23:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:23:31 Dome is MaxDome
12:23:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
12:23:31 Imager is QSI Universal
12:23:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:23:31 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210117@122051 UTC
12:23:31 Imager readout modes:
12:23:31   0 is Image Quality
12:23:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:23:31 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:23:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:23:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:23:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
12:23:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
12:23:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:23:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
