10:51:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:51:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:51:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:51:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:51:26 Dome is MaxDome
10:51:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:51:26 Imager is ASCOM
10:51:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:51:26 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240219@105006 UTC
10:51:26 Imager readout modes:
10:51:26   0 is Fast
10:51:26   1 is Normal
10:51:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:51:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:51:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:51:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:51:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:51:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:51:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:51:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:51:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
