09:48:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:48:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:48:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:48:23 User actions detected.
09:48:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:48:23 Dome is MaxDome
09:48:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:48:23 Imager is ASCOM
09:48:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:48:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250629@094748 UTC
09:48:23 Imager readout modes:
09:48:23   0 is Fast
09:48:23   1 is Normal
09:48:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:48:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:48:23 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:48:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:48:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:48:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:48:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:48:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:48:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
