06:19:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:19:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:19:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:19:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:19:44 Dome is MaxDome
06:19:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:19:45 Imager is ASCOM
06:19:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:19:45 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230327@061532 UTC
06:19:45 Imager readout modes:
06:19:45   0 is Fast
06:19:45   1 is Normal
06:19:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:19:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:19:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:19:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:19:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:19:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:19:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:19:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
