11:24:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:24:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:24:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:24:36 User actions detected.
11:24:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:24:36 Dome is MaxDome
11:24:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:24:36 Imager is ASCOM
11:24:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:24:36 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@112249 UTC
11:24:36 Imager readout modes:
11:24:36   0 is Fast
11:24:36   1 is Normal
11:24:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:24:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:24:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:24:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:24:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:24:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:24:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:24:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:24:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
