09:23:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:23:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:23:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:23:53 User actions detected.
09:23:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:23:53 Dome is MaxDome
09:23:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:23:53 Imager is ASCOM
09:23:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:23:53 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250623@091724 UTC
09:23:53 Imager readout modes:
09:23:53   0 is Fast
09:23:53   1 is Normal
09:23:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:23:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:23:53 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:23:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:23:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:24:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:24:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:24:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:24:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
