09:18:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:18:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:18:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:18:14 User actions detected.
09:18:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:18:14 Dome is MaxDome
09:18:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:18:14 Imager is ASCOM
09:18:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:18:14 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240625@091732 UTC
09:18:14 Imager readout modes:
09:18:14   0 is Fast
09:18:14   1 is Normal
09:18:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:18:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:18:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:18:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:18:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:18:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:18:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:18:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:18:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
