11:23:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:23:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:23:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:23:29 User actions detected.
11:23:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:23:29 Dome is MaxDome
11:23:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:23:29 Imager is ASCOM
11:23:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:23:29 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230224@112256 UTC
11:23:29 Imager readout modes:
11:23:29   0 is Fast
11:23:29   1 is Normal
11:23:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:23:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:23:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:23:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:23:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:23:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:23:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:23:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
