02:06:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:06:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:06:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:06:15 User actions detected.
02:06:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:06:15 Dome is MaxDome
02:06:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:06:16 Imager is ASCOM
02:06:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:06:16 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250124@020452 UTC
02:06:16 Imager readout modes:
02:06:16   0 is Fast
02:06:16   1 is Normal
02:06:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:06:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:06:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:06:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:06:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:06:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:06:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:06:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:06:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
