08:12:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:12:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:12:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:12:09 User actions detected.
08:12:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:12:09 Dome is MaxDome
08:12:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:12:09 Imager is ASCOM
08:12:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:12:09 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230303@080515 UTC
08:12:09 Imager readout modes:
08:12:09   0 is Fast
08:12:09   1 is Normal
08:12:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:12:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:12:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:12:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:12:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:12:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:12:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:12:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
