10:18:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:18:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:18:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:18:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:18:52 Dome is MaxDome
10:18:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:18:52 Imager is ASCOM
10:18:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:18:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@101817 UTC
10:18:52 Imager readout modes:
10:18:52   0 is Fast
10:18:52   1 is Normal
10:18:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:18:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:18:52 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:18:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:18:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:18:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:18:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:18:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:18:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
