02:20:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:20:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:20:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:20:44 User actions detected.
02:20:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:20:44 Dome is MaxDome
02:20:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:20:44 Imager is ASCOM
02:20:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:20:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@022011 UTC
02:20:44 Imager readout modes:
02:20:44   0 is Fast
02:20:44   1 is Normal
02:20:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:20:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:20:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:20:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:20:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:20:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:20:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:20:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:20:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
