08:54:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:55:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:55:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:55:00 User actions detected.
08:55:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:55:00 Dome is MaxDome
08:55:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

08:55:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:55:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240714@085317 UTC
08:55:00 Imager readout modes:
08:55:00   0 is Fast
08:55:00   1 is Normal
08:55:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:55:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:55:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:55:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:55:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:55:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:55:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:55:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
