Licensed to Arne Henden
06:11:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:11:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:11:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:11:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:11:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:11:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:11:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:11:46 Dome is MaxDome
06:11:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:11:46 Imager is ASCOM
06:11:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:11:46 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240311@060733 UTC
06:11:46 Imager readout modes:
06:11:46   0 is Fast
06:11:46   1 is Normal
06:11:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:11:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:11:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:11:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:11:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:11:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:11:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:11:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:11:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:11:46 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
06:11:46 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
06:11:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WLP_AUTO_ver3464, Plan J072816)
06:11:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:11:46 Pointing updates are enabled
06:11:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

06:13:28   Updating pointing...
06:13:28   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:13:28   Focus change of -270 steps required
06:13:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:13:32   (using Fast readout mode)
06:13:32   (starting exposure)
06:19:08 **Pointing update error from MaxIm.CCDCamera:
    **Exposure failed after being successfully started
06:19:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:19:08   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:19:08   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
06:19:08   Focus change of -20 steps required
06:19:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:19:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
06:19:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:19:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:19:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
06:19:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:19:38 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:19:38 **Autoguiding failed.
