06:45:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:45:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:45:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:45:31 User actions detected.
06:45:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:45:31 Dome is MaxDome
06:45:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

06:45:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:45:31 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250115@064404 UTC
06:45:31 Imager readout modes:
06:45:31   0 is Fast
06:45:31   1 is Normal
06:45:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:45:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:45:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:45:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:45:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:45:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:45:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:45:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:45:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
