10:45:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:45:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:45:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:45:08 User actions detected.
10:45:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:45:08 Dome is MaxDome
10:45:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:45:08 Imager is ASCOM
10:45:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:45:09 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250629@104356 UTC
10:45:09 Imager readout modes:
10:45:09   0 is Fast
10:45:09   1 is Normal
10:45:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:45:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:45:09 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:45:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:45:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:45:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:45:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:45:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:45:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:47:24   Solved! 150 stars matched.
10:47:24   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
10:47:24   Pointing error is 1.068 arcmin @ angle 147.99
10:47:24   True focal length is 3469.2 mm.

10:47:24   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
10:47:24   [sync] pointing model updated
10:47:24   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:47:24   Target is now centered.

10:47:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1327.074 Y=607.7184
10:47:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:47:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:47:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.258 Y=607.8531
10:47:56   (guide star SNR=19.9 X=1326 Y=608)
10:47:56   (first exposure estimate 1.51 sec)
10:48:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:48:01 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
