12:14:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:14:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:14:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:14:34 User actions detected.
12:14:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:14:34 Dome is MaxDome
12:14:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

12:14:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:14:34 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@121044 UTC
12:14:34 Imager readout modes:
12:14:34   0 is Fast
12:14:34   1 is Normal
12:14:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:14:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:14:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:14:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:14:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:14:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:14:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:14:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:14:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
