10:21:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:21:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:21:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:21:21 User actions detected.
10:21:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:21:21 Dome is MaxDome
10:21:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:21:21 Imager is ASCOM
10:21:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:21:21 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250704@101751 UTC
10:21:21 Imager readout modes:
10:21:21   0 is Fast
10:21:21   1 is Normal
10:21:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:21:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:21:21 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:21:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:21:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:21:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:21:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:21:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:21:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
