10:14:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:14:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:14:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:14:39 User actions detected.
10:14:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:14:40 Dome is MaxDome
10:14:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:14:40 Imager is ASCOM
10:14:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:14:40 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240625@101359 UTC
10:14:40 Imager readout modes:
10:14:40   0 is Fast
10:14:40   1 is Normal
10:14:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:14:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:14:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:14:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:14:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:14:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:14:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:14:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:14:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
