09:39:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:39:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:39:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:39:06 User actions detected.
09:39:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:39:06 Dome is MaxDome
09:39:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

09:39:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:39:06 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250629@093758 UTC
09:39:06 Imager readout modes:
09:39:06   0 is Fast
09:39:06   1 is Normal
09:39:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:39:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:39:06 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:39:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:39:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:39:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:39:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:39:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:39:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
