10:41:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:41:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:41:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:41:03 User actions detected.
10:41:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:41:03 Dome is MaxDome
10:41:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:41:04 Imager is ASCOM
10:41:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:41:04 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@103833 UTC
10:41:04 Imager readout modes:
10:41:04   0 is Fast
10:41:04   1 is Normal
10:41:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:41:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:41:04 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:41:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:41:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:41:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:41:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:41:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:41:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
