05:53:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:53:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:53:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:53:48 User actions detected.
05:53:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:53:48 Dome is MaxDome
05:53:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:53:48 Imager is ASCOM
05:53:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:53:48 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230203@055213 UTC
05:53:48 Imager readout modes:
05:53:48   0 is Fast
05:53:48   1 is Normal
05:53:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:53:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:53:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:53:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:53:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:53:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:53:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:53:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
