12:09:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:09:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:09:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:09:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:09:22 Dome is MaxDome
12:09:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:09:22 Imager is ASCOM
12:09:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:09:22 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240213@120856 UTC
12:09:22 Imager readout modes:
12:09:22   0 is Fast
12:09:22   1 is Normal
12:09:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:09:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:09:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:09:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:09:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:09:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:09:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:09:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:09:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
