01:32:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:32:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
01:32:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:32:36 User actions detected.
01:32:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:32:36 Dome is MaxDome
01:32:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:32:37 Imager is ASCOM

01:32:37 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250115@012219 UTC
01:32:37 Imager readout modes:
01:32:37   0 is Fast
01:32:37   1 is Normal
01:32:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:32:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:32:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:32:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:32:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
