02:54:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:54:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:54:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:54:48 User actions detected.
02:54:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:54:48 Dome is MaxDome
02:54:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:54:48 Imager is ASCOM
02:54:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:54:48 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250115@025136 UTC
02:54:48 Imager readout modes:
02:54:48   0 is Fast
02:54:48   1 is Normal
02:54:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:54:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:54:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:54:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:54:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:54:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:54:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:54:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:54:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
