05:00:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:00:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:00:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:00:34 User actions detected.
05:00:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:00:34 Dome is MaxDome
05:00:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:00:34 Imager is ASCOM
05:00:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:00:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@050009 UTC
05:00:34 Imager readout modes:
05:00:34   0 is Fast
05:00:34   1 is Normal
05:00:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:00:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:00:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:00:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:00:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:00:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:00:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:00:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:00:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
