04:21:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:21:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:21:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:21:23 User actions detected.
04:21:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:21:23 Dome is MaxDome
04:21:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:21:23 Imager is ASCOM
04:21:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:21:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220510@042014 UTC
04:21:23 Imager readout modes:
04:21:23   0 is Fast
04:21:23   1 is Normal
04:21:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:21:23 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:21:23 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:21:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:21:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:21:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:21:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:21:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
