03:58:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:58:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:58:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:58:57 User actions detected.
03:58:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:58:57 Dome is MaxDome
03:58:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:58:57 Imager is ASCOM
03:58:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:58:57 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240618@035831 UTC
03:58:57 Imager readout modes:
03:58:57   0 is Fast
03:58:57   1 is Normal
03:58:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:58:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:58:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:58:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:58:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:58:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:58:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:58:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:58:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:59:52   Solved! 143 stars matched.
03:59:52   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
03:59:52   Pointing error is 1.968 arcmin @ angle 95.58
03:59:52   True focal length is 3463.5 mm.
03:59:52   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:59:52   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 27.2s   44° 00' 57.09"
03:59:52   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
03:59:52   [sync] pointing model updated
03:59:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:59:52   Target is now centered.
03:59:52   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:59:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:59:52   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:59:52   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:59:54   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:00:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0712 Y=459.071
04:00:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:00:04 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:00:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.004 Y=608.0023
04:00:18   (guide star SNR=very high X=1326 Y=608)
04:00:18   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:00:23 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:00:23 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:00:23 **Autoguiding failed.
