03:34:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:34:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:34:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:34:42 User actions detected.
03:34:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:34:42 Dome is MaxDome
03:34:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:34:43 Imager is ASCOM
03:34:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:34:43 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250207@024700 UTC
03:34:43 Imager readout modes:
03:34:43   0 is Fast
03:34:43   1 is Normal
03:34:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:34:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:34:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:34:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:34:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:34:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:34:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:34:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:34:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
