03:35:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:35:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:35:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:35:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:35:47 Dome is MaxDome
03:35:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:35:47 Imager is ASCOM
03:35:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:35:47 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240127@032956 UTC
03:35:47 Imager readout modes:
03:35:47   0 is Fast
03:35:47   1 is Normal
03:35:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:35:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:35:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:35:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:35:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:35:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:35:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:35:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:35:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
