06:31:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:31:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
06:31:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:31:39 User actions detected.
06:31:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:31:39 Dome is MaxDome
06:31:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:31:39 Imager is ASCOM
06:31:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:31:39 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220418@062731 UTC
06:31:39 Imager readout modes:
06:31:39   0 is Fast
06:31:39   1 is Normal
06:31:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:31:39 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:31:39 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:31:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:31:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:31:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
06:31:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:31:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
