09:51:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:51:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:51:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:51:07 User actions detected.
09:51:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:51:07 Dome is MaxDome
09:51:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:51:08 Imager is ASCOM
09:51:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:51:08 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250629@095026 UTC
09:51:08 Imager readout modes:
09:51:08   0 is Fast
09:51:08   1 is Normal
09:51:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:51:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:51:08 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:51:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:51:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:51:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:51:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:51:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:51:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:52:37   [sync] pointing model updated
09:52:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:52:37   Target is now centered.
