10:39:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:39:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
10:39:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:39:34 User actions detected.
10:39:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:39:34 Dome is MaxDome
10:39:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
10:39:34 Imager is QSI Universal
10:39:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:39:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210224@103652 UTC
10:39:34 Imager readout modes:
10:39:34   0 is Image Quality
10:39:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:39:34 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:39:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:39:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:39:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
10:39:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
10:39:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:39:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
