04:48:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:48:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:48:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:48:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:48:38 Dome is MaxDome
04:48:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:48:38 Imager is ASCOM
04:48:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:48:38 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20250610@044758 UTC
04:48:38 Imager readout modes:
04:48:38   0 is Fast
04:48:38   1 is Normal
04:48:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:48:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:48:38 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:48:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:48:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:48:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:48:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:48:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:48:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:50:41   (guide star SNR=43.8 X=1326 Y=608)
04:50:42   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:50:47 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:50:47 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:50:47 **Autoguiding failed.
