03:03:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:03:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:03:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:03:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:03:50 Dome is MaxDome
03:03:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:03:50 Imager is ASCOM
03:03:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:03:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240216@030058 UTC
03:03:50 Imager readout modes:
03:03:50   0 is Fast
03:03:50   1 is Normal
03:03:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:03:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:03:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:03:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:03:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:03:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
