09:05:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:05:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:05:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:05:22 User actions detected.
09:05:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:05:22 Dome is MaxDome
09:05:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:05:22 Imager is ASCOM
09:05:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:05:22 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240704@090443 UTC
09:05:22 Imager readout modes:
09:05:22   0 is Fast
09:05:22   1 is Normal
09:05:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:05:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:05:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:05:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:05:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:05:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:05:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:05:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:05:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
