07:52:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:52:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:52:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:52:45 User actions detected.
07:52:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:52:45 Dome is MaxDome
07:52:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:52:45 Imager is ASCOM
07:52:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:52:45 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@075013 UTC
07:52:45 Imager readout modes:
07:52:45   0 is Fast
07:52:45   1 is Normal
07:52:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:52:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:52:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:52:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:52:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:52:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:52:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:52:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:52:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
