05:36:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:36:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:36:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:36:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:36:37 Dome is MaxDome
05:36:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:36:37 Imager is ASCOM
05:36:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:36:37 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240213@053445 UTC
05:36:37 Imager readout modes:
05:36:37   0 is Fast
05:36:37   1 is Normal
05:36:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:36:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:36:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:36:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:36:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:36:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:36:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:36:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:36:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:37:14   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:37:14   Focus change of 20 steps required
