This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
10:01:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:01:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:01:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:01:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:01:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:01:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:01:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:01:26 Dome is MaxDome
10:01:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:01:26 Imager is ASCOM
10:01:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:01:26 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240221@095955 UTC
10:01:26 Imager readout modes:
10:01:26   0 is Fast
10:01:26   1 is Normal
10:01:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:01:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:01:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:01:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:01:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:01:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:01:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:01:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:01:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:01:26 ==== Starting target M5-V42 ====
10:01:26 ACPS Observation M5-V42(1 of 1)
10:01:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver3426, Plan M5-V42)
10:01:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:01:26 Pointing updates are enabled
10:01:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:01:26   Start slew to M5-V42...
10:01:28   (wait for slew to complete)
10:01:37   (slew complete)
10:01:37   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

10:01:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:01:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:01:37   Switching from V to B filter for imaging
10:01:37   Focus change of 30 steps required
10:01:39   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:01:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=458.6746 Y=353.0085
10:01:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:01:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:02:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=153.1096 Y=140.6954
10:02:08   (guide star SNR=16.8 X=144 Y=131)
10:02:08   (first exposure estimate 1.79 sec)
10:02:13   (guide star SNR=3.8 X=145 Y=132)
10:02:13   (final exposure for guiding 1.42 sec)
10:02:18   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=146 Y=132)
10:03:16 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
10:03:17   (take guider image at initial interval 1.42 sec)
10:03:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=938.3529 Y=690.2684
10:03:22   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=937 Y=689)
10:03:22   (first exposure estimate 1.24 sec)
