08:56:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:56:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:56:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:56:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:56:44 Dome is MaxDome
08:56:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:56:44 Imager is ASCOM
08:56:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:56:44 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250605@085506 UTC
08:56:44 Imager readout modes:
08:56:44   0 is Fast
08:56:44   1 is Normal
08:56:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:56:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:56:44 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:56:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:56:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:56:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:56:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:56:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:56:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
