10:22:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:22:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:22:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:22:35 User actions detected.
10:22:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:22:35 Dome is MaxDome
10:22:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:22:35 Imager is ASCOM
10:22:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:22:35 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230228@102045 UTC
10:22:35 Imager readout modes:
10:22:35   0 is Fast
10:22:35   1 is Normal
10:22:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:22:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:22:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:22:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:22:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:22:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:22:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:22:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
