06:55:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:55:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:55:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:55:23 User actions detected.
06:55:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:55:23 Dome is MaxDome
06:55:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:55:24 Imager is ASCOM
06:55:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:55:24 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240618@065104 UTC
06:55:24 Imager readout modes:
06:55:24   0 is Fast
06:55:24   1 is Normal
06:55:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:55:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:55:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:55:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:55:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:55:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:55:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:55:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:55:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
