06:04:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:04:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:04:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:04:49 User actions detected.
06:04:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:04:49 Dome is MaxDome
06:04:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:04:50 Imager is ASCOM
06:04:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:04:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@060413 UTC
06:04:50 Imager readout modes:
06:04:50   0 is Fast
06:04:50   1 is Normal
06:04:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:04:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:04:50 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:04:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:04:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:04:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:04:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:04:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:04:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:05:58   108 catalog stars found
06:05:59   Solved! 36 stars matched.
06:05:59   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
06:05:59   Pointing error is 1.592 arcmin @ angle 140.15
06:05:59   True focal length is 3465.1 mm.
06:05:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

06:05:59   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:05:59   [sync] pointing model updated
06:05:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:05:59   Target is now centered.
06:05:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:05:59   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:05:59   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging

06:06:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.993 Y=608.0693
06:06:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:06:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:06:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.031 Y=608.0284
06:06:25   (guide star SNR=60.4 X=1326 Y=608)
06:06:25   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:06:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:06:30 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:06:30 **Autoguiding failed.
