04:01:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:01:40 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:01:40   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:01:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:01:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:01:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:01:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:01:42 Dome is MaxDome
04:01:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:01:42 Imager is ASCOM
04:01:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:01:42 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240514@035334 UTC
04:01:42 Imager readout modes:
04:01:42   0 is Fast
04:01:42   1 is Normal
04:01:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:01:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:01:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:01:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:01:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:01:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:01:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:01:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:01:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:03:45   307 catalog stars found
04:04:05 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.

04:05:09   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:05:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1253.997 Y=436.9827
04:05:23 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:05:24 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure

04:05:38   (first exposure estimate 1.02 sec)
04:05:42 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:05:42 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:05:42 **Autoguiding failed.
