07:45:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:45:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:45:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:45:25 User actions detected.
07:45:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:45:25 Dome is MaxDome
07:45:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:45:25 Imager is ASCOM
07:45:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:45:25 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@074416 UTC
07:45:25 Imager readout modes:
07:45:25   0 is Fast
07:45:25   1 is Normal
07:45:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:45:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:45:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:45:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:45:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:45:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:45:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:45:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:45:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
