01:48:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:48:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
01:48:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:48:13 User actions detected.
01:48:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:48:13 Dome is MaxDome
01:48:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:48:13 Imager is ASCOM
01:48:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:48:13 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250123@014533 UTC
01:48:13 Imager readout modes:
01:48:13   0 is Fast
01:48:13   1 is Normal
01:48:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:48:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:48:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:48:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:48:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:48:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:48:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:48:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
