04:44:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:44:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:44:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:44:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:44:21 Dome is MaxDome
04:44:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:44:21 Imager is ASCOM
04:44:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:44:21 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240328@044258 UTC
04:44:21 Imager readout modes:
04:44:21   0 is Fast
04:44:21   1 is Normal
04:44:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:44:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:44:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:44:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:44:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:44:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:44:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:44:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:44:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
