08:43:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:44:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:44:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:44:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:44:00 Dome is MaxDome
08:44:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:44:00 Imager is ASCOM
08:44:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:44:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250524@084216 UTC
08:44:00 Imager readout modes:
08:44:00   0 is Fast
08:44:00   1 is Normal
08:44:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:44:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:44:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:44:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:44:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:44:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:44:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:44:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:44:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
