05:14:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:14:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:14:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:14:33 User actions detected.
05:14:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:14:33 Dome is MaxDome
05:14:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:14:33 Imager is ASCOM
05:14:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:14:33 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220402@051132 UTC
05:14:33 Imager readout modes:
05:14:33   0 is Fast
05:14:33   1 is Normal
05:14:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:14:33 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:14:33 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:14:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:14:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:14:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:14:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:14:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
