03:49:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:49:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:49:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:49:41 User actions detected.
03:49:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:49:41 Dome is MaxDome
03:49:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:49:41 Imager is ASCOM
03:49:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:49:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240618@034800 UTC
03:49:41 Imager readout modes:
03:49:41   0 is Fast
03:49:41   1 is Normal
03:49:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:49:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:49:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:49:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:49:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:49:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:49:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:49:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:49:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
