07:36:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:36:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:36:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:36:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:36:39 Dome is MaxDome
07:36:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:36:39 Imager is ASCOM
07:36:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:36:39 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240412@073438 UTC
07:36:39 Imager readout modes:
07:36:39   0 is Fast
07:36:39   1 is Normal
07:36:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:36:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:36:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:36:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:36:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:36:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:36:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:36:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:36:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:37:35   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
