06:34:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:34:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:34:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:34:13 User actions detected.
06:34:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:34:13 Dome is MaxDome
06:34:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:34:13 Imager is ASCOM
06:34:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:34:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@063215 UTC
06:34:13 Imager readout modes:
06:34:13   0 is Fast
06:34:13   1 is Normal
06:34:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:34:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:34:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:34:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:34:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:34:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:34:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
