07:18:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:18:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:18:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:18:07 User actions detected.
07:18:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:18:07 Dome is MaxDome
07:18:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:18:07 Imager is ASCOM
07:18:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:18:07 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230203@071705 UTC
07:18:07 Imager readout modes:
07:18:07   0 is Fast
07:18:07   1 is Normal
07:18:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:18:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:18:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:18:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:18:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:18:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:18:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:18:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
