03:19:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:19:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:19:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:19:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:19:56 Dome is MaxDome
03:19:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:19:56 Imager is ASCOM
03:19:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:19:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250224@031920 UTC
03:19:56 Imager readout modes:
03:19:56   0 is Fast
03:19:56   1 is Normal
03:19:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:19:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:19:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:19:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:19:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:20:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:20:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:20:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
