04:23:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:23:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

04:23:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:23:55 Imager is ASCOM
04:23:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:23:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240514@042319 UTC
04:23:55 Imager readout modes:
04:23:55   0 is Fast
04:23:55   1 is Normal
04:23:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:23:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:23:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:23:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:23:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:23:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:23:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:23:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:23:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:26:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:26:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1017.286 Y=279.1128

04:27:46 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:27:46 **Autoguiding failed.
