01:46:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:47:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
01:47:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:47:00 User actions detected.
01:47:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:47:00 Dome is MaxDome
01:47:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:47:00 Imager is ASCOM
01:47:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:47:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@014545 UTC
01:47:00 Imager readout modes:
01:47:00   0 is Fast
01:47:00   1 is Normal
01:47:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:47:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:47:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:47:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:47:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:47:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:47:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:47:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:47:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
