05:03:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:03:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:03:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:03:22 User actions detected.
05:03:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:03:22 Dome is MaxDome
05:03:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:03:22 Imager is ASCOM
05:03:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:03:22 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250115@045729 UTC
05:03:22 Imager readout modes:
05:03:22   0 is Fast
05:03:22   1 is Normal
05:03:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:03:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:03:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:03:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:03:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:03:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:03:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:03:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:03:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
