11:57:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:57:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:57:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:57:25 User actions detected.
11:57:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:57:25 Dome is MaxDome
11:57:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

11:57:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:57:25 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250114@115536 UTC
11:57:25 Imager readout modes:
11:57:25   0 is Fast
11:57:25   1 is Normal
11:57:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:57:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:57:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:57:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:57:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:57:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:57:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:57:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:57:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
