04:05:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:05:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:05:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:05:30 User actions detected.
04:05:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:05:30 Dome is MaxDome
04:05:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:05:30 Imager is ASCOM
04:05:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:05:30 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@040454 UTC
04:05:30 Imager readout modes:
04:05:30   0 is Fast
04:05:30   1 is Normal
04:05:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:05:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:05:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:05:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:05:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:05:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:05:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:05:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:05:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
