03:07:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:07:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:07:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:07:39 User actions detected.
03:07:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:07:39 Dome is MaxDome
03:07:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:07:39 Imager is ASCOM
03:07:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:07:39 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250206@030703 UTC
03:07:39 Imager readout modes:
03:07:39   0 is Fast
03:07:39   1 is Normal
03:07:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:07:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:07:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:07:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:07:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)

03:07:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:07:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:07:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
