05:15:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:15:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:15:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:15:32 User actions detected.
05:15:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:15:32 Dome is MaxDome
05:15:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:15:32 Imager is ASCOM
05:15:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:15:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220407@051457 UTC
05:15:32 Imager readout modes:
05:15:32   0 is Fast
05:15:32   1 is Normal
05:15:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:15:32 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:15:32 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:15:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:15:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:15:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:15:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:15:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
