08:18:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:18:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:18:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:18:41 User actions detected.
08:18:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:18:41 Dome is MaxDome
08:18:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:18:41 Imager is ASCOM
08:18:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:18:41 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@081630 UTC
08:18:41 Imager readout modes:
08:18:41   0 is Fast
08:18:41   1 is Normal
08:18:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:18:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:18:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:18:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:18:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:18:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:18:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:18:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:18:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:19:40   Start slew to NSV_11154...
08:19:43   (wait for slew to complete)
08:19:53   (slew complete)
08:19:53   Target is now centered.
08:19:53   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:19:53   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:19:53   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
08:19:53   Focus change of -20 steps required
08:19:55   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:20:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.118 Y=347.3108
08:20:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:20:10 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:20:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1324.397 Y=606.9726
08:20:24   (guide star SNR=40.5 X=1326 Y=608)
08:20:24   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:20:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:20:29 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:20:29 **Autoguiding failed.
