07:14:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:14:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:14:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:14:37 User actions detected.
07:14:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

07:14:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:14:37 Imager is ASCOM
07:14:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:14:37 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250207@071331 UTC
07:14:37 Imager readout modes:
07:14:37   0 is Fast
07:14:37   1 is Normal
07:14:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:14:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:14:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:14:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:14:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:14:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:14:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:14:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:14:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
