07:00:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:00:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:00:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:00:28 User actions detected.
07:00:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:00:28 Dome is MaxDome
07:00:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:00:28 Imager is ASCOM
07:00:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:00:28 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250124@065244 UTC
07:00:28 Imager readout modes:
07:00:28   0 is Fast
07:00:28   1 is Normal
07:00:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:00:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:00:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:00:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:00:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:00:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:00:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:00:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:00:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
