09:39:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:39:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:39:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:39:38 User actions detected.
09:39:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:39:38 Dome is MaxDome
09:39:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:39:38 Imager is ASCOM
09:39:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:39:38 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@093824 UTC
09:39:38 Imager readout modes:
09:39:38   0 is Fast
09:39:38   1 is Normal
09:39:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:39:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:39:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:39:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:39:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:39:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:39:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:39:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:39:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
