01:32:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:32:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:32:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:32:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:32:10 Dome is MaxDome
01:32:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:32:10 Imager is ASCOM
01:32:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:32:10 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@012916 UTC
01:32:10 Imager readout modes:
01:32:10   0 is Fast
01:32:10   1 is Normal
01:32:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:32:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:32:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:32:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:32:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:32:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:32:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:32:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:32:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
