06:59:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:59:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:59:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:59:15 User actions detected.
06:59:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:59:15 Dome is MaxDome
06:59:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:59:15 Imager is ASCOM
06:59:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:59:15 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250115@065555 UTC
06:59:15 Imager readout modes:
06:59:15   0 is Fast
06:59:15   1 is Normal
06:59:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:59:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:59:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:59:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:59:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:59:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:59:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:59:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:59:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
