03:17:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:17:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:17:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:17:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:17:53 Dome is MaxDome
03:17:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

03:17:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:17:54 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240223@031227 UTC
03:17:54 Imager readout modes:
03:17:54   0 is Fast
03:17:54   1 is Normal
03:17:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:17:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:17:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:17:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:17:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:17:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:17:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:17:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:17:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
