03:55:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:55:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:55:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:55:21 User actions detected.
03:55:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:55:21 Dome is MaxDome
03:55:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:55:21 Imager is ASCOM
03:55:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:55:21 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250114@010000 UTC
03:55:21 Imager readout modes:
03:55:21   0 is Fast
03:55:21   1 is Normal
03:55:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:55:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:55:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:55:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:55:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:55:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:55:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:55:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:55:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
