10:22:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:22:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:22:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:22:10 User actions detected.
10:22:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:22:10 Dome is MaxDome
10:22:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:22:11 Imager is ASCOM
10:22:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:22:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240618@102058 UTC
10:22:11 Imager readout modes:
10:22:11   0 is Fast
10:22:11   1 is Normal
10:22:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:22:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:22:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:22:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:22:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:22:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:22:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:22:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:22:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
