07:21:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:21:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:21:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:21:50 User actions detected.
07:21:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:21:50 Dome is MaxDome
07:21:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:21:50 Imager is ASCOM
07:21:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:21:50 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250206@071801 UTC
07:21:50 Imager readout modes:
07:21:50   0 is Fast
07:21:50   1 is Normal
07:21:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:21:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:21:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:21:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:21:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:21:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:21:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
