03:43:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:43:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:43:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:43:08 User actions detected.
03:43:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:43:08 Dome is MaxDome
03:43:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:43:08 Imager is ASCOM
03:43:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:43:08 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@034139 UTC
03:43:08 Imager readout modes:
03:43:08   0 is Fast
03:43:08   1 is Normal
03:43:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:43:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:43:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:43:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:43:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:43:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:43:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:43:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:43:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
