11:41:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:41:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:41:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:41:27 User actions detected.
11:41:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:41:28 Dome is MaxDome
11:41:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:41:28 Imager is ASCOM
11:41:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:41:28 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230207@114016 UTC
11:41:28 Imager readout modes:
11:41:28   0 is Fast
11:41:28   1 is Normal
11:41:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:41:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:41:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:41:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:41:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:41:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:41:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:41:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
