07:59:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:59:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:59:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:59:05 User actions detected.
07:59:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:59:05 Dome is MaxDome
07:59:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:59:06 Imager is ASCOM
07:59:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:59:06 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20230228@075040 UTC
07:59:06 Imager readout modes:
07:59:06   0 is Fast
07:59:06   1 is Normal
07:59:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:59:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:59:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:59:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:59:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:59:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:59:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
