08:49:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:49:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:49:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:49:15 User actions detected.
08:49:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:49:15 Dome is MaxDome
08:49:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:49:15 Imager is ASCOM
08:49:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:49:15 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250114@084716 UTC
08:49:15 Imager readout modes:
08:49:15   0 is Fast
08:49:15   1 is Normal
08:49:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:49:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:49:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:49:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:49:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:49:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:49:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:49:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:49:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
