06:42:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:42:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:42:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:42:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:42:56 Dome is MaxDome
06:42:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:42:56 Imager is ASCOM
06:42:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:42:56 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@063917 UTC
06:42:56 Imager readout modes:
06:42:56   0 is Fast
06:42:56   1 is Normal
06:42:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:42:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:42:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:42:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:42:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:42:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:42:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:42:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:42:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
