10:02:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:02:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:02:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:02:12 User actions detected.
10:02:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:02:12 Dome is MaxDome
10:02:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:02:12 Imager is ASCOM
10:02:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:02:12 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240711@095848 UTC
10:02:12 Imager readout modes:
10:02:12   0 is Fast
10:02:12   1 is Normal
10:02:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:02:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:02:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:02:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:02:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:02:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:02:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:02:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:02:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
