08:20:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:20:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:20:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:20:36 User actions detected.
08:20:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:20:36 Dome is MaxDome
08:20:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:20:36 Imager is ASCOM
08:20:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:20:36 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@081858 UTC
08:20:36 Imager readout modes:
08:20:36   0 is Fast
08:20:36   1 is Normal
08:20:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:20:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:20:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:20:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:20:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:20:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:20:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:20:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:20:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
