Licensed to Arne Henden
08:41:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:41:21 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:41:21   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:41:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:41:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:41:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:41:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:41:22 Dome is MaxDome
08:41:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:41:22 Imager is ASCOM
08:41:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:41:22 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240223@083430 UTC
08:41:22 Imager readout modes:
08:41:22   0 is Fast
08:41:22   1 is Normal
08:41:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:41:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:41:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:41:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:41:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:41:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:41:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:41:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:41:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:41:22 ACPS Observation M5-V42(1 of 1)
08:41:22   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver3426, Plan M5-V42)
08:41:22   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:41:22 Pointing updates are enabled
08:41:22 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:41:22   Start slew to M5-V42...
08:41:24   (wait for slew to complete)
08:41:34   (slew complete)
08:41:34   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

08:41:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=847.93 Y=436.9192

08:41:49   (final exposure for guiding 1.95 sec)
08:41:54   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=834 Y=428)
08:41:56 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
08:41:57   (take guider image at initial interval 1.95 sec)
08:42:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=834 Y=428
08:42:02   (guide star SNR=2.5 X=821 Y=420)
08:42:02   (first exposure estimate 2.37 sec)
08:42:08 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:42:08 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:42:08 **Autoguiding failed.
08:42:08   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
