03:31:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:31:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:31:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:31:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:31:16 Dome is MaxDome
03:31:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:31:16 Imager is ASCOM
03:31:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:31:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@033041 UTC
03:31:16 Imager readout modes:
03:31:16   0 is Fast
03:31:16   1 is Normal
03:31:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:31:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:31:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:31:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:31:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:31:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:31:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:31:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:31:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
