09:47:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:47:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:47:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:47:18 User actions detected.
09:47:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:47:19 Dome is MaxDome
09:47:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:47:19 Imager is ASCOM
09:47:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:47:19 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240629@094309 UTC
09:47:19 Imager readout modes:
09:47:19   0 is Fast
09:47:19   1 is Normal
09:47:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:47:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:47:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:47:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:47:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:47:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:47:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:47:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:47:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
