06:37:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:37:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
06:37:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:37:02 User actions detected.
06:37:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:37:02 Dome is MaxDome
06:37:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:37:02 Imager is ASCOM
06:37:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:37:02 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220510@063436 UTC
06:37:02 Imager readout modes:
06:37:02   0 is Fast
06:37:02   1 is Normal
06:37:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:37:02 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:37:02 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:37:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:37:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:37:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
06:37:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:37:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
