09:14:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:14:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:14:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:14:10 User actions detected.
09:14:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:14:10 Dome is MaxDome
09:14:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:14:10 Imager is ASCOM
09:14:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:14:10 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250114@091222 UTC
09:14:10 Imager readout modes:
09:14:10   0 is Fast
09:14:10   1 is Normal
09:14:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:14:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:14:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:14:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:14:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:14:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:14:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:14:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:14:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
