06:01:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:01:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:01:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:01:28 User actions detected.
06:01:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:01:28 Dome is MaxDome
06:01:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:01:29 Imager is ASCOM
06:01:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:01:29 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250207@060056 UTC
06:01:29 Imager readout modes:
06:01:29   0 is Fast
06:01:29   1 is Normal
06:01:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:01:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:01:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:01:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:01:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:01:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:01:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:01:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:01:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
