04:07:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:07:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:07:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:07:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:07:34 Dome is MaxDome
04:07:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:07:34 Imager is ASCOM
04:07:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:07:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@040631 UTC
04:07:34 Imager readout modes:
04:07:34   0 is Fast
04:07:34   1 is Normal
04:07:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:07:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:07:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:07:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:07:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:07:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:07:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:07:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:07:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
