03:45:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:45:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:45:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:45:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:45:05 Dome is MaxDome
03:45:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:45:05 Imager is ASCOM
03:45:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:45:05 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@034359 UTC
03:45:05 Imager readout modes:
03:45:05   0 is Fast
03:45:05   1 is Normal
03:45:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:45:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:45:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:45:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:45:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:45:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:45:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:45:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:45:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
