07:31:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:31:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:31:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:31:19 User actions detected.
07:31:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:31:19 Dome is MaxDome
07:31:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:31:19 Imager is ASCOM
07:31:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:31:19 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@072512 UTC
07:31:19 Imager readout modes:
07:31:19   0 is Fast
07:31:19   1 is Normal
07:31:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:31:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:31:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:31:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:31:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:31:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:31:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:31:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:31:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
