09:38:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:38:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:38:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:38:43 User actions detected.
09:38:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:38:43 Dome is MaxDome
09:38:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:38:43 Imager is ASCOM
09:38:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:38:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240714@093801 UTC
09:38:43 Imager readout modes:
09:38:43   0 is Fast
09:38:43   1 is Normal
09:38:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:38:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:38:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:38:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:38:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:38:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:38:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:38:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:38:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
