08:14:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:14:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:14:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:14:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:14:46 Dome is MaxDome
08:14:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:14:46 Imager is ASCOM
08:14:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:14:46 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@081409 UTC
08:14:46 Imager readout modes:
08:14:46   0 is Fast
08:14:46   1 is Normal
08:14:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:14:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:14:46 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:14:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:14:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:14:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:14:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:14:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:14:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
