03:41:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:41:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:41:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:41:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:41:48 Dome is MaxDome
03:41:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:41:48 Imager is ASCOM
03:41:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:41:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@034038 UTC
03:41:48 Imager readout modes:
03:41:48   0 is Fast
03:41:48   1 is Normal
03:41:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:41:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:41:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:41:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:41:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:41:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:41:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:41:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:41:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
