10:48:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:48:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:48:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:48:06 User actions detected.
10:48:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:48:06 Dome is MaxDome
10:48:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:48:06 Imager is ASCOM
10:48:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:48:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240708@104725 UTC
10:48:06 Imager readout modes:
10:48:06   0 is Fast
10:48:06   1 is Normal
10:48:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:48:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:48:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:48:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:48:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:48:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:48:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:48:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:48:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:50:10   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:50:10   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:50:14   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:50:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1341.246 Y=497
10:50:28   (guide star SNR=6.9 X=1341 Y=497)

10:50:41   (take guider image at initial interval 1.87 sec)
10:50:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=986 Y=533
10:50:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:50:46 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:50:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.01 Y=607.9922
10:51:00   (guide star SNR=42.0 X=1326 Y=608)
10:51:00   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:51:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:51:05 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:51:05 **Autoguiding failed.
