09:37:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:37:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
09:37:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:37:30 User actions detected.
09:37:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:37:30 Dome is MaxDome
09:37:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:37:31 Imager is ASCOM
09:37:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:37:31 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20220416@093333 UTC
09:37:31 Imager readout modes:
09:37:31   0 is Fast
09:37:31   1 is Normal
09:37:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:37:31 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:37:31 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:37:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:37:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:37:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:37:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:37:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:37:36 ACPS Observation NGC_6535(1 of 1)
09:37:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6535)
09:37:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:37:36 Pointing updates are enabled
09:37:36   Start slew to NGC_6535...
09:37:38   (wait for slew to complete)
09:37:52   (slew complete)
09:37:52   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:37:52   Imaging to NGC_6535_SG_20220416_093752_T3
09:37:52   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
09:37:52   (using Normal readout mode)
09:37:52   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
09:38:57   (exposure complete)
09:38:59   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:39:01   Image finished
09:39:01   Plate-solve NGC_6535_SG_20220416_093752_T3 final image.
09:39:04   206 image stars found
09:39:05   332 catalog stars found
09:39:06   Solved! 42 stars matched.
09:39:07   Average residual is 0.15 arcsec.
09:39:07   Pointing error is 1.204 arcmin @ angle 84.92
09:39:07   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
09:39:07   True focal length is 3468.4 mm.
09:39:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45

09:39:07   Imager sky position angle is 183.0 deg.
09:39:07   Image FWHM is 2.3 arcsec (5.24 pixels)
09:39:07   (avg FWHM = 1.59 arcsec)
09:39:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.

09:39:08   (take guider image at initial interval 10 sec)
09:39:21 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:39:22 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:39:35 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:39:36 **Autoguiding failed.
