08:09:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:09:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:09:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:09:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:09:33 Dome is MaxDome
08:09:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

08:09:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:09:33 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250524@080749 UTC
08:09:33 Imager readout modes:
08:09:33   0 is Fast
08:09:33   1 is Normal
08:09:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:09:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:09:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:09:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:09:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:09:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:09:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:09:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:09:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
