10:24:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:24:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
10:24:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:24:17 User actions detected.
10:24:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:24:17 Dome is MaxDome
10:24:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
10:24:18 Imager is ASCOM
10:24:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:24:18 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220212@102219 UTC
10:24:18 Imager readout modes:
10:24:18   0 is Fast
10:24:18   1 is Normal
10:24:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:24:18 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:24:18 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:24:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:24:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
