08:20:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:20:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
08:20:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:20:10 User actions detected.
08:20:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:20:10 Dome is MaxDome
08:20:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
08:20:10 Imager is ASCOM
08:20:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:20:10 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220316@081238 UTC
08:20:10 Imager readout modes:
08:20:10   0 is Fast
08:20:10   1 is Normal
08:20:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:20:10 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:20:10 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
08:20:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:20:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
08:20:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
08:20:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:20:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
