Licensed to Arne Henden
04:27:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:27:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:27:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:27:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:27:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:27:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:27:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:27:54 Dome is MaxDome
04:27:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:27:54 Imager is ASCOM
04:27:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:27:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240514@042643 UTC
04:27:54 Imager readout modes:
04:27:54   0 is Fast
04:27:54   1 is Normal
04:27:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:27:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:27:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:27:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:27:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:27:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:27:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:27:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:27:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:30:59   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:31:04 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:31:04 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:31:04 **Autoguiding failed.
