Licensed to Arne Henden
02:49:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:49:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:49:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:49:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:49:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:49:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:49:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:49:58 Dome is MaxDome
02:49:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:49:58 Imager is ASCOM
02:49:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:49:58 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240216@024926 UTC
02:49:58 Imager readout modes:
02:49:58   0 is Fast
02:49:58   1 is Normal
02:49:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:49:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:49:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:49:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:49:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:49:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:49:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:49:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:49:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:50:28   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:50:28   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:50:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:50:30   (using Fast readout mode)
02:50:30   (starting exposure)
02:50:52   (exposure complete)
02:50:54   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:50:55   Image finished
02:50:55   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:50:56   120 image stars found
02:50:56   211 catalog stars found
02:50:57   Solved! 40 stars matched.
02:50:57   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
02:50:57   Pointing error is 3.141 arcmin @ angle 86.02
02:50:57   True focal length is 3466.1 mm.
02:50:57   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

02:51:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:51:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=859.0268 Y=830.4358
02:51:26 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:51:26 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
