02:16:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:16:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
02:16:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:16:13 User actions detected.
02:16:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:16:13 Dome is MaxDome
02:16:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
02:16:13 Imager is ASCOM
02:16:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:16:13 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220408@021246 UTC
02:16:13 Imager readout modes:
02:16:13   0 is Fast
02:16:13   1 is Normal
02:16:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:16:13 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:16:13 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:16:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:16:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
02:16:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
02:16:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:16:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
