03:02:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:02:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:02:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:02:38 User actions detected.
03:02:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:02:38 Dome is MaxDome
03:02:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:02:38 Imager is ASCOM
03:02:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:02:38 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@030135 UTC
03:02:38 Imager readout modes:
03:02:38   0 is Fast
03:02:38   1 is Normal
03:02:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:02:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:02:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:02:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
