12:01:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:01:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:01:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:01:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:01:46 Dome is MaxDome
12:01:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:01:46 Imager is ASCOM
12:01:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:01:46 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240222@115712 UTC
12:01:46 Imager readout modes:
12:01:46   0 is Fast
12:01:46   1 is Normal
12:01:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:01:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:01:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:01:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:01:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:01:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:01:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:01:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:01:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
