08:28:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:28:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:28:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:28:28 User actions detected.
08:28:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:28:28 Dome is MaxDome
08:28:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:28:28 Imager is ASCOM
08:28:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:28:28 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@082753 UTC
08:28:29 Imager readout modes:
08:28:29   0 is Fast
08:28:29   1 is Normal
08:28:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:28:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:28:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:28:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:28:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:28:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:28:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:28:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:28:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
