05:19:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:19:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:19:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:19:50 User actions detected.
05:19:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:19:50 Dome is MaxDome
05:19:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:19:50 Imager is ASCOM
05:19:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:19:50 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@051922 UTC
05:19:50 Imager readout modes:
05:19:50   0 is Fast
05:19:50   1 is Normal
05:19:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:19:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:19:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:19:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:19:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:19:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:19:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:19:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:19:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
