08:25:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:25:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:25:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:25:29 User actions detected.
08:25:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:25:30 Dome is MaxDome
08:25:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:25:30 Imager is ASCOM
08:25:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:25:30 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240710@082426 UTC
08:25:30 Imager readout modes:
08:25:30   0 is Fast
08:25:30   1 is Normal
08:25:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:25:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:25:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:25:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:25:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:25:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:25:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:25:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:25:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
