05:34:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:34:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:34:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:34:28 User actions detected.
05:34:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:34:28 Dome is MaxDome
05:34:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:34:28 Imager is ASCOM
05:34:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:34:28 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20250614@053348 UTC
05:34:28 Imager readout modes:
05:34:28   0 is Fast
05:34:28   1 is Normal
05:34:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:34:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:34:28 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:34:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:34:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:34:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:34:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:34:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:34:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:35:37   Solved! 115 stars matched.
05:35:37   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
05:35:37   Pointing error is 1.447 arcmin @ angle 146.54
05:35:37   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
05:35:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

05:35:37   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
05:35:37   [sync] pointing model updated
05:35:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:35:37   Target is now centered.

05:35:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:36:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=443.9413 Y=952.0259
05:36:08   (guide star SNR=54.6 X=444 Y=952)
