06:21:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:21:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:21:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:21:20 User actions detected.
06:21:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:21:20 Dome is MaxDome
06:21:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

06:21:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:21:20 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250124@061953 UTC
06:21:20 Imager readout modes:
06:21:20   0 is Fast
06:21:20   1 is Normal
06:21:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:21:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:21:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:21:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:21:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:21:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:21:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:21:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:21:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
