08:10:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:10:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:10:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:10:28 User actions detected.
08:10:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:10:28 Dome is MaxDome
08:10:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:10:28 Imager is ASCOM
08:10:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:10:28 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@080952 UTC
08:10:28 Imager readout modes:
08:10:28   0 is Fast
08:10:28   1 is Normal
08:10:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:10:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:10:28 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:10:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:10:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:10:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:10:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:10:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:10:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:12:37   238 catalog stars found
08:12:38   Solved! 88 stars matched.
08:12:38   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
08:12:38   Pointing error is 1.091 arcmin @ angle 115.03
08:12:38   True focal length is 3466.8 mm.
08:12:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

08:12:38   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:12:38   [sync] pointing model updated
08:12:38   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:12:38   Target is now centered.
08:12:38   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:12:38   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:12:38   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging

08:12:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=50.71181 Y=65.47017
08:12:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:12:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:13:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.926 Y=608.0596
08:13:08   (guide star SNR=41.5 X=1326 Y=608)
08:13:09   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:13:13 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:13:13 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:13:13 **Autoguiding failed.
