05:40:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:40:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:40:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:40:11 User actions detected.
05:40:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:40:11 Dome is MaxDome
05:40:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:40:11 Imager is ASCOM
05:40:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:40:11 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250207@053900 UTC
05:40:11 Imager readout modes:
05:40:11   0 is Fast
05:40:11   1 is Normal
05:40:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:40:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:40:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:40:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:40:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:40:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:40:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:40:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:40:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
