01:48:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:48:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:48:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:48:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:48:44 Dome is MaxDome
01:48:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:48:44 Imager is ASCOM
01:48:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:48:44 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240128@014812 UTC
01:48:44 Imager readout modes:
01:48:44   0 is Fast
01:48:44   1 is Normal
01:48:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:48:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:48:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:48:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:48:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:48:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:48:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:48:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:48:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
