02:48:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:48:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:48:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:48:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:48:02 Dome is MaxDome
02:48:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:48:02 Imager is ASCOM
02:48:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:48:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240221@024344 UTC
02:48:02 Imager readout modes:
02:48:02   0 is Fast
02:48:02   1 is Normal
02:48:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:48:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:48:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:48:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:48:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:48:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
