07:51:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:51:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:51:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:51:36 User actions detected.
07:51:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:51:36 Dome is MaxDome
07:51:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

07:51:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:51:37 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250114@074906 UTC
07:51:37 Imager readout modes:
07:51:37   0 is Fast
07:51:37   1 is Normal
07:51:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:51:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:51:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:51:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:51:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:51:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:51:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:51:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:51:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
