06:31:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:31:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:31:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:31:12 User actions detected.
06:31:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:31:12 Dome is MaxDome
06:31:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:31:12 Imager is ASCOM
06:31:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:31:12 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250115@062811 UTC
06:31:12 Imager readout modes:
06:31:12   0 is Fast
06:31:12   1 is Normal
06:31:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:31:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:31:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:31:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:31:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:31:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:31:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:31:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:31:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
