03:46:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:47:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:47:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:47:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:47:00 Dome is MaxDome
03:47:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:47:00 Imager is ASCOM
03:47:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:47:00 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240328@034139 UTC
03:47:00 Imager readout modes:
03:47:00   0 is Fast
03:47:00   1 is Normal
03:47:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:47:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:47:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:47:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:47:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:47:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:47:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:47:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:47:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
