05:47:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:47:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:47:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:47:32 User actions detected.
05:47:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:47:32 Dome is MaxDome
05:47:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

05:47:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:47:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@054656 UTC
05:47:32 Imager readout modes:
05:47:32   0 is Fast
05:47:32   1 is Normal
05:47:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:47:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:47:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:47:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:47:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:47:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:47:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:47:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:47:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
