06:17:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:17:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:17:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:17:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:17:32 Dome is MaxDome
06:17:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:17:33 Imager is ASCOM
06:17:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:17:33 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@061524 UTC
06:17:33 Imager readout modes:
06:17:33   0 is Fast
06:17:33   1 is Normal
06:17:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:17:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:17:33 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:17:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:17:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:17:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
