10:18:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:18:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:18:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:18:47 User actions detected.
10:18:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:18:48 Dome is MaxDome
10:18:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

10:18:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:18:48 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@101808 UTC
10:18:48 Imager readout modes:
10:18:48   0 is Fast
10:18:48   1 is Normal
10:18:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:18:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:18:48 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:18:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:18:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:18:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:18:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:18:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:18:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
