08:08:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:08:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:08:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:08:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:08:20 Dome is MaxDome
08:08:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:08:20 Imager is ASCOM
08:08:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:08:20 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250605@080755 UTC
08:08:20 Imager readout modes:
08:08:20   0 is Fast
08:08:20   1 is Normal
08:08:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:08:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:08:20 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:08:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:08:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:08:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:08:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:08:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:08:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
