Licensed to Arne Henden
03:21:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:21:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:21:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:21:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:21:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:21:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:21:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:21:05 Dome is MaxDome
03:21:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:21:05 Imager is ASCOM
03:21:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:21:05 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240507@032030 UTC
03:21:05 Imager readout modes:
03:21:05   0 is Fast
03:21:05   1 is Normal
03:21:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:21:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:21:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:21:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:21:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:21:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:21:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:21:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:21:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:24:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:24:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:24:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=315.3306 Y=644.204
03:24:26   (guide star SNR=14.5 X=313 Y=642)
03:24:26   (first exposure estimate 1.03 sec)
03:24:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:24:30 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:24:30 **Autoguiding failed.
