09:30:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:30:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:30:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:30:47 User actions detected.
09:30:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:30:47 Dome is MaxDome
09:30:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:30:48 Imager is ASCOM
09:30:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:30:48 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20230207@093016 UTC
09:30:48 Imager readout modes:
09:30:48   0 is Fast
09:30:48   1 is Normal
09:30:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:30:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:30:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:30:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:30:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:30:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:30:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:30:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
