05:45:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:45:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:45:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:45:13 User actions detected.
05:45:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:45:13 Dome is MaxDome
05:45:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:45:14 Imager is ASCOM
05:45:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:45:14 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@054433 UTC
05:45:14 Imager readout modes:
05:45:14   0 is Fast
05:45:14   1 is Normal
05:45:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:45:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:45:14 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:45:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:45:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:45:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:45:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:45:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:45:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
