05:12:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:12:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:12:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:12:48 User actions detected.
05:12:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:12:48 Dome is MaxDome
05:12:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:12:48 Imager is ASCOM
05:12:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:12:48 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250206@050807 UTC
05:12:48 Imager readout modes:
05:12:48   0 is Fast
05:12:48   1 is Normal
05:12:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:12:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:12:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:12:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:12:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:12:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:12:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:12:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:12:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
