03:52:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:52:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:52:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:52:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:52:27 Dome is MaxDome
03:52:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:52:27 Imager is ASCOM
03:52:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:52:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@034900 UTC
03:52:27 Imager readout modes:
03:52:27   0 is Fast
03:52:27   1 is Normal
03:52:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:52:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:52:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:52:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:52:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:52:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
