01:56:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:56:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:56:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:56:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:56:58 Dome is MaxDome
01:56:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:56:58 Imager is ASCOM
01:56:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:56:58 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@015623 UTC
01:56:58 Imager readout modes:
01:56:58   0 is Fast
01:56:58   1 is Normal
01:56:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:56:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:56:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:56:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:56:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:56:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:56:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:56:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:56:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
