10:05:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:05:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:05:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:05:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:05:09 Dome is MaxDome
10:05:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:05:09 Imager is ASCOM
10:05:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:05:09 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@100427 UTC
10:05:09 Imager readout modes:
10:05:09   0 is Fast
10:05:09   1 is Normal
10:05:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:05:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:05:10 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:05:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:05:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:05:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:05:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:05:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:05:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
