08:11:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:11:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:11:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:11:18 User actions detected.
08:11:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:11:18 Dome is MaxDome
08:11:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:11:18 Imager is ASCOM
08:11:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:11:18 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250207@080902 UTC
08:11:18 Imager readout modes:
08:11:18   0 is Fast
08:11:18   1 is Normal
08:11:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:11:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:11:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:11:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:11:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:11:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:11:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
