02:56:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:56:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
02:56:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:56:12 User actions detected.
02:56:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:56:12 Dome is MaxDome
02:56:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
02:56:12 Imager is ASCOM
02:56:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:56:12 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220315@025501 UTC
02:56:12 Imager readout modes:
02:56:12   0 is Fast
02:56:12   1 is Normal
02:56:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:56:12 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:56:12 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:56:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:56:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
02:56:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
02:56:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:56:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
