03:49:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:49:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:49:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:49:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

03:49:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:49:38 Imager is ASCOM
03:49:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:49:38 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250224@034510 UTC
03:49:38 Imager readout modes:
03:49:38   0 is Fast
03:49:38   1 is Normal
03:49:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:49:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:49:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:49:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:49:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:49:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:49:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
