10:15:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:15:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:15:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:15:20 User actions detected.
10:15:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:15:20 Dome is MaxDome
10:15:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:15:20 Imager is ASCOM
10:15:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:15:20 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240726@101236 UTC
10:15:20 Imager readout modes:
10:15:20   0 is Fast
10:15:20   1 is Normal
10:15:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:15:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:15:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:15:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:15:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:15:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:15:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:15:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:15:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:16:44   (slew complete)
10:16:44   Target is now centered.
10:16:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:16:44   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:16:44   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
10:16:44   Focus change of -20 steps required
10:16:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:17:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=222.4315 Y=981.1931
10:17:00   (guide star SNR=9.9 X=222 Y=981)

10:17:11 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
10:17:12   (take guider image at initial interval 1.34 sec)
10:17:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1229 Y=1002
10:17:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:17:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:17:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1323.998 Y=606.8073
10:17:31   (guide star SNR=38.7 X=1326 Y=608)
10:17:31   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:17:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:17:36 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:17:36 **Autoguiding failed.
