05:54:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:54:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:54:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:54:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:54:19 Dome is MaxDome
05:54:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:54:19 Imager is ASCOM
05:54:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:54:19 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@055305 UTC
05:54:19 Imager readout modes:
05:54:19   0 is Fast
05:54:19   1 is Normal
05:54:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:54:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:54:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:54:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:54:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:54:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:54:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:54:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:54:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
