06:40:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:40:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:40:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:40:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:40:01 Dome is MaxDome
06:40:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:40:01 Imager is ASCOM
06:40:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:40:01 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@063923 UTC
06:40:01 Imager readout modes:
06:40:01   0 is Fast
06:40:01   1 is Normal
06:40:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:40:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:40:01 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:40:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:40:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:40:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:40:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
