10:11:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:11:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:11:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:11:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:11:34 Dome is MaxDome
10:11:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:11:34 Imager is ASCOM
10:11:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:11:34 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230327@100728 UTC
10:11:34 Imager readout modes:
10:11:34   0 is Fast
10:11:34   1 is Normal
10:11:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:11:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:11:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:11:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:11:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:11:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:11:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:11:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
