06:58:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:58:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:58:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:58:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:58:50 Dome is MaxDome
06:58:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:58:50 Imager is ASCOM
06:58:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:58:50 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@065719 UTC
06:58:50 Imager readout modes:
06:58:50   0 is Fast
06:58:50   1 is Normal
06:58:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:58:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:58:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:58:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:58:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:58:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:58:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:58:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:58:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
