10:09:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:09:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:09:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:09:54 User actions detected.
10:09:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:09:54 Dome is MaxDome
10:09:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

10:09:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:09:54 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@100913 UTC
10:09:54 Imager readout modes:
10:09:54   0 is Fast
10:09:54   1 is Normal
10:09:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:09:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:09:54 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:09:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:09:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:10:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:10:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:10:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:10:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
