05:44:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:44:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:44:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:44:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:44:29 Dome is MaxDome
05:44:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:44:29 Imager is ASCOM
05:44:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:44:29 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20250526@054356 UTC
05:44:29 Imager readout modes:
05:44:29   0 is Fast
05:44:29   1 is Normal
05:44:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:44:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:44:29 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:44:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:44:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:44:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:44:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:44:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:44:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
