06:16:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:16:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
06:16:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:16:36 User actions detected.
06:16:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:16:36 Dome is MaxDome
06:16:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:16:37 Imager is ASCOM
06:16:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:16:37 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220416@061611 UTC
06:16:37 Imager readout modes:
06:16:37   0 is Fast
06:16:37   1 is Normal
06:16:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:16:37 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:16:37 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:16:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:16:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:16:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
06:16:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:16:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
