12:28:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:28:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:28:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:28:19 User actions detected.
12:28:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:28:19 Dome is MaxDome
12:28:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:28:19 Imager is ASCOM
12:28:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:28:19 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230203@122512 UTC
12:28:19 Imager readout modes:
12:28:19   0 is Fast
12:28:19   1 is Normal
12:28:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:28:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:28:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:28:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:28:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:28:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:28:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:28:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
