03:45:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:45:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:45:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:45:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:45:54 Dome is MaxDome
03:45:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:45:54 Imager is ASCOM
03:45:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:45:54 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240311@034422 UTC
03:45:54 Imager readout modes:
03:45:54   0 is Fast
03:45:54   1 is Normal
03:45:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:45:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:45:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:45:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:45:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:45:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:45:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:45:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:45:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
