09:37:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:37:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:37:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:37:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:37:25 Dome is MaxDome
09:37:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:37:26 Imager is ASCOM
09:37:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:37:26 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@093649 UTC
09:37:26 Imager readout modes:
09:37:26   0 is Fast
09:37:26   1 is Normal
09:37:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:37:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:37:26 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:37:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:37:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:37:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:37:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:37:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:37:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
