08:36:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:36:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:36:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:36:08 User actions detected.
08:36:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:36:08 Dome is MaxDome
08:36:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:36:08 Imager is ASCOM
08:36:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:36:08 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@083531 UTC
08:36:08 Imager readout modes:
08:36:08   0 is Fast
08:36:08   1 is Normal
08:36:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:36:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:36:08 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:36:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:36:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:36:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:36:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:36:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:36:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
