08:59:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:59:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:59:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:59:46 User actions detected.
08:59:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:59:46 Dome is MaxDome
08:59:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:59:46 Imager is ASCOM
08:59:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:59:46 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240714@085907 UTC
08:59:46 Imager readout modes:
08:59:46   0 is Fast
08:59:46   1 is Normal
08:59:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:59:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:59:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:59:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:59:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:59:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:59:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:59:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:59:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:01:40   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
09:01:40   [sync] pointing model updated
09:01:40   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:01:40   Target is now centered.
09:01:40   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:01:40   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:01:40   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging

09:01:44   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:01:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=612.973 Y=135.0725
09:01:58   (guide star SNR=9.1 X=613 Y=135)
09:01:58   (first exposure estimate 1.65 sec)
09:02:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:02:03 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:02:03 **Autoguiding failed.
