12:32:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:33:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:33:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:33:00 User actions detected.
12:33:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:33:00 Dome is MaxDome
12:33:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:33:00 Imager is ASCOM
12:33:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:33:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250124@122930 UTC
12:33:00 Imager readout modes:
12:33:00   0 is Fast
12:33:00   1 is Normal
12:33:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:33:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:33:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:33:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:33:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:33:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:33:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:33:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:33:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
