05:45:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:45:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:45:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:45:54 User actions detected.
05:45:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:45:54 Dome is MaxDome
05:45:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:45:54 Imager is ASCOM
05:45:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:45:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@054309 UTC
05:45:54 Imager readout modes:
05:45:54   0 is Fast
05:45:54   1 is Normal
05:45:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:45:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:45:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:45:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:45:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:46:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:46:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:46:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:46:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
