11:18:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:18:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:18:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:18:39 User actions detected.
11:18:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:18:39 Dome is MaxDome
11:18:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:18:39 Imager is ASCOM
11:18:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:18:39 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20230224@110448 UTC
11:18:39 Imager readout modes:
11:18:39   0 is Fast
11:18:39   1 is Normal
11:18:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:18:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:18:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:18:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:18:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:18:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:18:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:18:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
