05:28:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:28:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:28:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:28:58 User actions detected.
05:28:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:28:58 Dome is MaxDome
05:28:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

05:28:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:28:58 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250206@052746 UTC
05:28:58 Imager readout modes:
05:28:58   0 is Fast
05:28:58   1 is Normal
05:28:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:28:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:28:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:28:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:28:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:29:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:29:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:29:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:29:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
