08:10:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:10:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:10:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:10:41 User actions detected.
08:10:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:10:41 Dome is MaxDome
08:10:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:10:41 Imager is ASCOM
08:10:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:10:41 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250114@075909 UTC
08:10:41 Imager readout modes:
08:10:41   0 is Fast
08:10:41   1 is Normal
08:10:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:10:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:10:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:10:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:10:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:10:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:10:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:10:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:10:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
