08:31:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:31:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:31:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:31:42 User actions detected.
08:31:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:31:42 Dome is MaxDome
08:31:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:31:42 Imager is ASCOM
08:31:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:31:42 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@082939 UTC
08:31:42 Imager readout modes:
08:31:42   0 is Fast
08:31:42   1 is Normal
08:31:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:31:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:31:42 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:31:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:31:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:31:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:31:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:31:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:31:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:33:11   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:33:11   [sync] pointing model updated
08:33:11   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:33:11   Target is now centered.

08:33:23 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:33:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.947 Y=608.0196
08:33:37   (guide star SNR=49.2 X=1326 Y=608)
08:33:37   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:33:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:33:42 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
