05:04:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:04:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:04:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:04:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:04:55 Dome is MaxDome
05:04:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:04:56 Imager is ASCOM
05:04:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:04:56 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250605@050209 UTC
05:04:56 Imager readout modes:
05:04:56   0 is Fast
05:04:56   1 is Normal
05:04:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:04:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:04:56 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:04:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:04:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:05:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:05:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:05:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:05:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
