08:31:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:31:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:31:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:31:01 User actions detected.
08:31:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:31:01 Dome is MaxDome
08:31:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:31:02 Imager is ASCOM
08:31:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:31:02 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240618@082742 UTC
08:31:02 Imager readout modes:
08:31:02   0 is Fast
08:31:02   1 is Normal
08:31:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:31:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:31:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:31:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:31:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:31:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:31:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:31:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:31:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
