04:20:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:20:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:20:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:20:48 User actions detected.
04:20:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:20:48 Dome is MaxDome
04:20:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:20:48 Imager is ASCOM
04:20:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:20:48 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250207@041938 UTC
04:20:48 Imager readout modes:
04:20:48   0 is Fast
04:20:48   1 is Normal
04:20:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:20:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:20:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:20:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:20:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:20:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:20:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:20:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:20:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
