09:10:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:10:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:10:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:10:17 User actions detected.
09:10:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:10:17 Dome is MaxDome
09:10:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:10:17 Imager is ASCOM
09:10:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:10:17 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250114@090850 UTC
09:10:17 Imager readout modes:
09:10:17   0 is Fast
09:10:17   1 is Normal
09:10:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:10:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:10:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:10:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:10:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:10:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:10:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:10:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:10:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
