03:45:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:45:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:45:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:45:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:45:16 Dome is MaxDome
03:45:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:45:16 Imager is ASCOM
03:45:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:45:16 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@034014 UTC
03:45:16 Imager readout modes:
03:45:16   0 is Fast
03:45:16   1 is Normal
03:45:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:45:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:45:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:45:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:45:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:45:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:45:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:45:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:45:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
