04:34:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:34:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:34:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:34:48 User actions detected.
04:34:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:34:48 Dome is MaxDome
04:34:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:34:49 Imager is ASCOM
04:34:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:34:49 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230303@042135 UTC
04:34:49 Imager readout modes:
04:34:49   0 is Fast
04:34:49   1 is Normal
04:34:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:34:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:34:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:34:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:34:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:34:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:34:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:34:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
