10:03:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:03:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:03:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:03:38 User actions detected.
10:03:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:03:38 Dome is MaxDome
10:03:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:03:38 Imager is ASCOM
10:03:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:03:38 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240704@100257 UTC
10:03:38 Imager readout modes:
10:03:38   0 is Fast
10:03:38   1 is Normal
10:03:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:03:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:03:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:03:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:03:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:03:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:03:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:03:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:03:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:03:59   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:03:59   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:04:04   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:04:04   (using Fast readout mode)
10:04:04   (starting exposure)

10:06:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:06:03 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:06:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.073 Y=608.0368
10:06:17   (guide star SNR=27.4 X=1326 Y=608)

10:06:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:06:22 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:06:22 **Autoguiding failed.
