10:32:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:32:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:32:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:32:35 User actions detected.
10:32:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:32:36 Dome is MaxDome
10:32:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:32:36 Imager is ASCOM
10:32:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:32:36 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@103108 UTC
10:32:36 Imager readout modes:
10:32:36   0 is Fast
10:32:36   1 is Normal
10:32:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:32:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:32:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:32:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:32:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:32:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:32:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:32:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:32:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
