03:17:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:17:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:17:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:17:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:17:06 Dome is MaxDome
03:17:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:17:06 Imager is ASCOM
03:17:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:17:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250524@031627 UTC
03:17:06 Imager readout modes:
03:17:06   0 is Fast
03:17:06   1 is Normal
03:17:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:17:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:17:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:17:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:17:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:17:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:17:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:17:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:17:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
