04:02:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:02:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:02:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:02:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:02:38 Dome is MaxDome
04:02:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:02:38 Imager is ASCOM
04:02:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:02:38 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240507@035803 UTC
04:02:38 Imager readout modes:
04:02:38   0 is Fast
04:02:38   1 is Normal
04:02:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:02:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:02:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:02:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:02:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:02:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:02:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:02:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:02:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
