02:50:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:50:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:50:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:50:23 User actions detected.
02:50:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:50:23 Dome is MaxDome
02:50:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

02:50:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:50:23 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250115@024856 UTC
02:50:23 Imager readout modes:
02:50:23   0 is Fast
02:50:23   1 is Normal
02:50:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:50:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:50:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:50:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:50:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:50:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:50:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:50:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:50:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
