This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
07:21:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:21:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:21:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:21:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:21:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:21:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:21:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:21:45 Dome is MaxDome
07:21:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:21:45 Imager is ASCOM
07:21:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:21:45 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240412@072000 UTC
07:21:45 Imager readout modes:
07:21:45   0 is Fast
07:21:45   1 is Normal
07:21:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:21:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:21:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:21:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:21:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:21:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:21:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:21:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:21:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:21:45 ==== Starting target NGC_6254 ====
07:21:45 ACPS Observation NGC_6254(1 of 1)
07:21:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WEL_AUTO_ver3443, Plan NGC_6254)
07:21:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:21:45 Pointing updates are enabled
07:21:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:21:45   Start slew to NGC_6254...
07:21:47   (wait for slew to complete)
07:21:57   (slew complete)
07:21:57   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
07:21:57     [flip check:  Tn=460s HAc=-11959s GW=T HAz=-11499s DWz=T WF=no]
07:21:57   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:21:57   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:21:57   Switching from SG to B filter for imaging
07:21:57   Focus change of 270 steps required
07:22:01   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:22:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=351.9576 Y=673.4594
07:22:13   (guide star SNR=4.2 X=352 Y=673)
07:22:14   (first exposure estimate 3.59 sec)
07:22:21   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=353 Y=675)
07:22:21   (final exposure for guiding 3.17 sec)
07:22:28   (guide star SNR=2.6 X=353 Y=673)
07:22:51 **Guider waited for 15.85 sec and never got a measurement
07:22:52   (take guider image at initial interval 3.17 sec)
07:22:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326 Y=608
07:22:59 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:22:59 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:23:12   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.255 Y=608.0786
07:23:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:23:13 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:23:13 **Autoguiding failed.
