05:58:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:58:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:58:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:58:42 User actions detected.
05:58:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:58:42 Dome is MaxDome
05:58:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:58:42 Imager is ASCOM
05:58:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:58:42 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@055803 UTC
05:58:42 Imager readout modes:
05:58:42   0 is Fast
05:58:42   1 is Normal
05:58:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:58:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:58:42 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:58:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:58:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:58:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:58:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:58:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:58:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
