09:25:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:25:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:25:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:25:13 User actions detected.
09:25:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:25:13 Dome is MaxDome
09:25:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:25:13 Imager is ASCOM
09:25:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:25:13 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240625@092417 UTC
09:25:13 Imager readout modes:
09:25:13   0 is Fast
09:25:13   1 is Normal
09:25:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:25:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:25:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:25:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:25:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:25:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:25:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:25:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:25:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
