06:10:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:10:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:10:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:10:09 User actions detected.
06:10:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:10:09 Dome is MaxDome
06:10:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:10:10 Imager is ASCOM
06:10:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:10:10 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@060932 UTC
06:10:10 Imager readout modes:
06:10:10   0 is Fast
06:10:10   1 is Normal
06:10:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:10:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:10:10 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:10:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:10:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:10:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:10:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:10:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:10:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
