06:29:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:29:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
06:29:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:29:12 User actions detected.
06:29:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:29:12 Dome is MaxDome
06:29:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:29:12 Imager is ASCOM
06:29:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:29:12 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220316@062317 UTC
06:29:12 Imager readout modes:
06:29:12   0 is Fast
06:29:12   1 is Normal
06:29:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:29:12 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:29:12 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:29:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:29:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:29:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
06:29:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:29:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
