04:55:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:55:31 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:55:31   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:55:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:55:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:55:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:55:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:55:32 Dome is MaxDome
04:55:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:55:32 Imager is ASCOM
04:55:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:55:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@045400 UTC
04:55:32 Imager readout modes:
04:55:32   0 is Fast
04:55:32   1 is Normal
04:55:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:55:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:55:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:55:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:55:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:55:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:55:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:55:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:55:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:55:54   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:55:54   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:55:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:55:58   (using Fast readout mode)
04:55:58   (starting exposure)
04:56:23   (exposure complete)
04:56:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:56:26   Image finished

04:56:27   264 image stars found
04:56:27   151 catalog stars found
04:56:28   Solved! 56 stars matched.
04:56:28   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.

04:56:28   Start slew to IR_Com...
04:56:30   (wait for slew to complete)
04:56:40   (slew complete)
04:56:40   Target is now centered.
04:56:40   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:56:40   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:56:40   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
04:56:40   Focus change of 270 steps required
04:56:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:56:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1118.979 Y=931.992
04:56:58   (guide star SNR=3.9 X=1119 Y=932)
04:56:58   (first exposure estimate 3.86 sec)
04:57:05   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=1120 Y=932)
04:57:06   (final exposure for guiding 3.89 sec)
04:57:13   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=1120 Y=933)
04:57:36 **Guider waited for 19.45 sec and never got a measurement
04:57:37   (take guider image at initial interval 3.89 sec)
04:57:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
04:57:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:57:44 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:57:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1026.841 Y=945.0352
04:57:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:57:58 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:57:58 **Autoguiding failed.
