07:35:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:35:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:35:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:35:27 User actions detected.
07:35:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:35:27 Dome is MaxDome
07:35:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:35:27 Imager is ASCOM
07:35:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:35:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250115@073254 UTC
07:35:27 Imager readout modes:
07:35:27   0 is Fast
07:35:27   1 is Normal
07:35:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:35:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:35:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:35:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:35:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:35:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:35:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:35:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:35:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
