08:58:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:58:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:58:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:58:19 User actions detected.
08:58:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:58:19 Dome is MaxDome
08:58:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:58:19 Imager is ASCOM
08:58:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:58:19 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@085122 UTC
08:58:19 Imager readout modes:
08:58:19   0 is Fast
08:58:19   1 is Normal
08:58:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:58:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:58:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:58:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:58:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
