12:27:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:27:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:27:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:27:09 User actions detected.
12:27:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:27:09 Dome is MaxDome
12:27:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:27:09 Imager is ASCOM
12:27:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:27:09 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@122524 UTC
12:27:09 Imager readout modes:
12:27:09   0 is Fast
12:27:09   1 is Normal
12:27:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:27:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:27:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:27:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:27:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:27:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:27:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:27:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:27:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
