09:12:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:12:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:12:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:12:19 User actions detected.
09:12:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:12:20 Dome is MaxDome
09:12:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:12:20 Imager is ASCOM
09:12:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:12:20 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240714@090819 UTC
09:12:20 Imager readout modes:
09:12:20   0 is Fast
09:12:20   1 is Normal
09:12:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:12:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:12:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:12:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:12:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:12:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:12:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:12:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:12:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
