04:06:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:06:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:06:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:06:52 User actions detected.
04:06:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:06:52 Dome is MaxDome
04:06:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:06:53 Imager is ASCOM
04:06:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:06:53 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250207@040442 UTC
04:06:53 Imager readout modes:
04:06:53   0 is Fast
04:06:53   1 is Normal
04:06:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:06:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:06:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:06:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:06:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:07:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:07:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:07:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:07:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
