06:51:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:51:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:51:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:51:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:51:43 Dome is MaxDome
06:51:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:51:44 Imager is ASCOM
06:51:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:51:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@064936 UTC
06:51:44 Imager readout modes:
06:51:44   0 is Fast
06:51:44   1 is Normal
06:51:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:51:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:51:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:51:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:51:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:51:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:51:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:51:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
