12:28:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:28:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
12:28:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:28:36 User actions detected.
12:28:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:28:36 Dome is MaxDome
12:28:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.21

12:28:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:28:36 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20201206@122252 UTC
12:28:37 Imager readout modes:
12:28:37   0 is Image Quality
12:28:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:28:37 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:28:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:28:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:28:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
12:28:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
12:28:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:28:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
