09:41:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:41:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:41:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:41:56 User actions detected.
09:41:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:41:56 Dome is MaxDome
09:41:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

09:41:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:41:56 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240629@093915 UTC
09:41:56 Imager readout modes:
09:41:56   0 is Fast
09:41:56   1 is Normal
09:41:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:41:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:41:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:41:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:41:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:41:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:41:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:41:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:41:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
