02:20:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:20:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:20:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:20:55 User actions detected.
02:20:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:20:55 Dome is MaxDome
02:20:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:20:56 Imager is ASCOM
02:20:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:20:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@021549 UTC
02:20:56 Imager readout modes:
02:20:56   0 is Fast
02:20:56   1 is Normal
02:20:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:20:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:20:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:20:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:20:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:21:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:21:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:21:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:21:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
