10:19:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:19:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:19:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:19:06 User actions detected.
10:19:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:19:06 Dome is MaxDome
10:19:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:19:06 Imager is ASCOM
10:19:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:19:06 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250629@101454 UTC
10:19:06 Imager readout modes:
10:19:06   0 is Fast
10:19:06   1 is Normal
10:19:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:19:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:19:06 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:19:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:19:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:19:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:19:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:19:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:19:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
