07:53:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:53:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:53:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:53:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:53:27 Dome is MaxDome
07:53:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:53:27 Imager is ASCOM
07:53:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:53:27 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230325@063722 UTC
07:53:27 Imager readout modes:
07:53:27   0 is Fast
07:53:27   1 is Normal
07:53:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:53:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:53:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:53:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:53:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:53:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:53:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:53:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
