09:07:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:07:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:07:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:07:57 User actions detected.
09:07:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:07:57 Dome is MaxDome
09:07:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:07:58 Imager is ASCOM
09:07:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:07:58 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240629@090717 UTC
09:07:58 Imager readout modes:
09:07:58   0 is Fast
09:07:58   1 is Normal
09:07:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:07:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:07:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:07:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:07:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:07:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:07:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:07:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:07:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:07:58 Pointing updates are enabled
09:07:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

09:08:49 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure

09:09:03   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:09:08 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:09:08 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:09:08 **Autoguiding failed.
09:09:08   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
