05:29:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:29:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:29:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:29:44 User actions detected.
05:29:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:29:44 Dome is MaxDome
05:29:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:29:44 Imager is ASCOM
05:29:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:29:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230305@052836 UTC
05:29:44 Imager readout modes:
05:29:44   0 is Fast
05:29:44   1 is Normal
05:29:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:29:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:29:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:29:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:29:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:29:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:29:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:29:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
