02:49:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:49:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:49:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:49:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:49:22 Dome is MaxDome
02:49:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:49:22 Imager is ASCOM
02:49:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:49:22 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20231013@024328 UTC
02:49:22 Imager readout modes:
02:49:22   0 is Fast
02:49:22   1 is Normal
02:49:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:49:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:49:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:49:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:49:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:49:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:49:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:49:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
