04:36:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:36:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:36:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:36:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:36:01 Dome is MaxDome
04:36:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:36:01 Imager is ASCOM
04:36:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:36:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@043425 UTC
04:36:01 Imager readout modes:
04:36:01   0 is Fast
04:36:01   1 is Normal
04:36:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:36:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:36:01 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:36:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:36:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:36:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:36:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:36:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:36:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
