12:34:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:34:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:34:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:34:59 User actions detected.
12:34:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:34:59 Dome is MaxDome
12:34:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:34:59 Imager is ASCOM
12:34:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:34:59 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@123247 UTC
12:34:59 Imager readout modes:
12:34:59   0 is Fast
12:34:59   1 is Normal
12:34:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:34:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:34:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:34:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:34:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:35:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:35:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:35:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:35:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
