02:13:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:13:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:13:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:13:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:13:06 Dome is MaxDome
02:13:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:13:06 Imager is ASCOM
02:13:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:13:06 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@021021 UTC
02:13:06 Imager readout modes:
02:13:06   0 is Fast
02:13:06   1 is Normal
02:13:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:13:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:13:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:13:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:13:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:13:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
