Licensed to Arne Henden
08:34:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:34:50 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:34:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:34:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:34:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:34:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:34:51 Dome is MaxDome
08:34:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:34:51 Imager is ASCOM
08:34:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:34:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@083316 UTC
08:34:51 Imager readout modes:
08:34:51   0 is Fast
08:34:51   1 is Normal
08:34:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:34:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:34:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:34:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:34:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:34:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:34:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:34:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:34:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:34:51 ==== Starting target M5-V84 ====
08:34:51 ACPS Observation M5-V84(1 of 1)
08:34:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver3426, Plan M5-V84)
08:34:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:34:51 Pointing updates are enabled
08:34:51 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:34:51   Start slew to M5-V84...
08:34:53   (wait for slew to complete)
08:35:03   (slew complete)
08:35:03   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

08:35:03   Switching from V to B filter for imaging
08:35:03   Focus change of 30 steps required
08:35:06   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:35:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=576.8318 Y=427.5519
08:35:20   (guide star SNR=7.4 X=574 Y=422)
08:35:20   (first exposure estimate 2.04 sec)
08:35:27   (guide star SNR=4.2 X=571 Y=419)
08:35:27   (final exposure for guiding 1.47 sec)
08:35:32   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=570 Y=418)
08:36:04 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
08:36:05   (take guider image at initial interval 1.47 sec)
08:36:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.217 Y=945.0106
08:36:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:36:10 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:36:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=457.4848 Y=352.1105
08:36:23 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:36:23 **Autoguiding failed.
08:36:23   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
