01:58:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:58:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:58:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:58:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:58:47 Dome is MaxDome
01:58:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:58:47 Imager is ASCOM
01:58:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:58:47 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@015812 UTC
01:58:47 Imager readout modes:
01:58:47   0 is Fast
01:58:47   1 is Normal
01:58:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:58:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:58:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:58:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:58:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:58:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:58:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:58:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:58:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
