10:56:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:56:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:56:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:56:14 User actions detected.
10:56:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:56:14 Dome is MaxDome
10:56:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:56:14 Imager is ASCOM
10:56:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:56:14 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250114@104550 UTC
10:56:14 Imager readout modes:
10:56:14   0 is Fast
10:56:14   1 is Normal
10:56:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:56:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:56:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:56:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:56:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:56:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:56:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:56:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:56:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
