02:48:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:48:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:48:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:48:12 User actions detected.
02:48:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:48:12 Dome is MaxDome
02:48:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:48:12 Imager is ASCOM
02:48:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:48:12 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250123@024645 UTC
02:48:12 Imager readout modes:
02:48:12   0 is Fast
02:48:12   1 is Normal
02:48:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:48:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:48:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:48:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:48:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:48:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:48:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:48:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:48:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
