08:32:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:32:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:32:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:32:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:32:05 Dome is MaxDome
08:32:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:32:05 Imager is ASCOM
08:32:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:32:05 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250524@082904 UTC
08:32:05 Imager readout modes:
08:32:05   0 is Fast
08:32:05   1 is Normal
08:32:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:32:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:32:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:32:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:32:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:32:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:32:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:32:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:32:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
