09:16:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:16:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:16:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:16:13 User actions detected.
09:16:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:16:13 Dome is MaxDome
09:16:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:16:13 Imager is ASCOM
09:16:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:16:13 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250614@091017 UTC
09:16:13 Imager readout modes:
09:16:13   0 is Fast
09:16:13   1 is Normal
09:16:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:16:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:16:13 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:16:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:16:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:16:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:16:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:16:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:16:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:18:59 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:18:59 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:18:59 **Autoguiding failed.
