02:01:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:01:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:01:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:01:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:01:48 Dome is MaxDome
02:01:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:01:48 Imager is ASCOM
02:01:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:01:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240117@015734 UTC
02:01:48 Imager readout modes:
02:01:48   0 is Fast
02:01:48   1 is Normal
02:01:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:01:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
