Licensed to Arne Henden
10:31:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:31:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:31:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:31:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:31:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:31:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:31:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:31:07 Dome is MaxDome
10:31:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:31:07 Imager is ASCOM
10:31:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:31:07 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240224@102850 UTC
10:31:07 Imager readout modes:
10:31:07   0 is Fast
10:31:07   1 is Normal
10:31:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:31:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:31:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:31:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:31:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:31:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:31:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:31:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:31:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:31:07 ==== Starting target NGC_6254 ====
10:31:07 ACPS Observation NGC_6254(1 of 1)
10:31:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WEL_AUTO_ver3443, Plan NGC_6254)
10:31:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:31:08 Pointing updates are enabled
10:31:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:31:08   Start slew to NGC_6254...
10:31:09   (wait for slew to complete)
10:31:19   (slew complete)
10:31:19   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
10:31:19     [flip check:  Tn=460s HAc=-11919s GW=T HAz=-11459s DWz=T WF=no]
10:31:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:31:19   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:31:19   Switching from SG to B filter for imaging
10:31:19   Focus change of 270 steps required
10:31:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:31:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=369.0837 Y=674.4917
10:31:35   (guide star SNR=6.0 X=369 Y=674)
10:31:35   (first exposure estimate 2.48 sec)
10:31:41   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=369 Y=675)
10:31:41   (final exposure for guiding 2.23 sec)
10:31:48   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=369 Y=675)
10:31:49 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
10:31:50   (take guider image at initial interval 2.23 sec)
10:31:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=369 Y=675
10:31:56   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=370 Y=674)
10:31:56   (first exposure estimate 2.13 sec)
10:32:02   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=370 Y=674)
10:32:02   (final exposure for guiding 2.15 sec)
10:32:08   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=370 Y=674)
10:32:21 **Guider waited for 10.75 sec and never got a measurement
10:32:22   (take guider image at initial interval 2.15 sec)
10:32:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
10:32:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:32:28 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:32:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1358.896 Y=471.2224
10:32:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:32:41 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:32:41 **Autoguiding failed.
