11:29:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:29:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:29:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:29:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:29:54 Dome is MaxDome
11:29:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:29:54 Imager is ASCOM
11:29:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:29:54 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240223@112911 UTC
11:29:54 Imager readout modes:
11:29:54   0 is Fast
11:29:54   1 is Normal
11:29:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:29:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:29:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:29:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:29:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:29:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:29:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:29:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:29:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
