11:00:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:00:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:00:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:00:58 User actions detected.
11:00:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:00:58 Dome is MaxDome
11:00:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:00:59 Imager is ASCOM
11:00:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:00:59 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250704@110033 UTC
11:00:59 Imager readout modes:
11:00:59   0 is Fast
11:00:59   1 is Normal
11:00:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:00:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:00:59 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
11:00:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:00:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:01:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:01:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:01:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:01:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
