02:59:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:59:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:59:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:59:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:59:25 Dome is MaxDome
02:59:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:59:25 Imager is ASCOM
02:59:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:59:25 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@025817 UTC
02:59:25 Imager readout modes:
02:59:25   0 is Fast
02:59:25   1 is Normal
02:59:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:59:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:59:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:59:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:59:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:59:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
