02:39:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:39:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:39:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:39:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

02:39:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@023837 UTC
02:39:11 Imager readout modes:
02:39:11   0 is Fast
