11:16:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:16:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:16:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:16:55 User actions detected.
11:16:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:16:55 Dome is MaxDome
11:16:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:16:55 Imager is ASCOM
11:16:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:16:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@110253 UTC
11:16:55 Imager readout modes:
11:16:55   0 is Fast
11:16:55   1 is Normal
11:16:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:16:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:16:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:16:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:16:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:17:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:17:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:17:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:17:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
