03:09:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:09:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:09:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:09:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:09:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:09:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:09:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:09:48 Dome is MaxDome
03:09:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:09:48 Imager is ASCOM
03:09:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:09:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240507@030811 UTC
03:09:48 Imager readout modes:
03:09:48   0 is Fast
03:09:48   1 is Normal
03:09:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:09:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:09:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:09:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:09:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:09:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:09:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:09:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:09:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:10:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:10:13   (using Fast readout mode)
03:10:13   (starting exposure)
03:10:37   (exposure complete)

03:10:43   Start slew to NSV-6690...
03:10:44   (wait for slew to complete)
03:10:54   (slew complete)
03:10:54   Target is now centered.
03:10:54   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:10:54   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:10:54   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:10:54   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:10:58   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:11:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=685.6324 Y=340.9212
03:11:12   (guide star SNR=10.8 X=685 Y=341)
03:11:12   (first exposure estimate 1.38 sec)

03:11:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=858.9862 Y=831.0023
03:11:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:11:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:11:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9124 Y=459.0457
03:11:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:11:43 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:11:43 **Autoguiding failed.
