09:39:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:39:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
09:39:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:39:44 User actions detected.
09:39:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:39:44 Dome is MaxDome
09:39:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:39:45 Imager is ASCOM
09:39:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:39:45 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20220416@093333 UTC
09:39:45 Imager readout modes:
09:39:45   0 is Fast
09:39:45   1 is Normal
09:39:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:39:45 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:39:45 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:39:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:39:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:39:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:39:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:39:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
