04:59:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:59:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:59:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:59:58 User actions detected.
04:59:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:59:58 Dome is MaxDome
04:59:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:59:58 Imager is ASCOM
04:59:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:59:58 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250614@045849 UTC
04:59:58 Imager readout modes:
04:59:58   0 is Fast
04:59:58   1 is Normal
04:59:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:59:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:59:58 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:59:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:59:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:00:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:00:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:00:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:00:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
