09:21:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:21:11 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:21:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:21:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:21:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:21:13 User actions detected.
09:21:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:21:13 Dome is MaxDome
09:21:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:21:13 Imager is ASCOM
09:21:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:21:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240618@092037 UTC
09:21:13 Imager readout modes:
09:21:13   0 is Fast
09:21:13   1 is Normal
09:21:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:21:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:21:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:21:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:21:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:21:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:21:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:21:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:21:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:21:40   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:21:40   Focus change of -290 steps required
09:21:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:21:43   (using Fast readout mode)

09:22:14   Start slew to AE_And...
09:22:16   (wait for slew to complete)
09:22:21   (slew complete)
09:22:21   Target is now centered.
09:22:21   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:22:21   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:22:21   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:22:21   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:22:24   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:22:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=428.402 Y=102.2001
09:22:38   (guide star SNR=6.5 X=428 Y=102)
09:22:38   (first exposure estimate 2.29 sec)

09:23:13 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
09:23:15   (take guider image at initial interval 1.93 sec)
09:23:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:23:20 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:23:21 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:23:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.057 Y=608.0956
09:23:34   (guide star SNR=69.2 X=1326 Y=608)
09:23:35   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:23:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:23:39 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:23:39 **Autoguiding failed.
