12:11:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:11:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
12:11:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:11:16 User actions detected.
12:11:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:11:16 Dome is MaxDome
12:11:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.21

12:11:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:11:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210223@120805 UTC
12:11:16 Imager readout modes:
12:11:16   0 is Image Quality

12:11:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:11:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
