11:25:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:25:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
11:25:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:25:39 User actions detected.
11:25:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:25:39 Dome is MaxDome
11:25:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
11:25:39 Imager is QSI Universal
11:25:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:25:39 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210209@112257 UTC
11:25:39 Imager readout modes:
11:25:39   0 is Image Quality
11:25:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:25:39 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:25:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:25:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:25:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
11:25:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
11:25:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:25:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
