Licensed to Arne Henden
05:54:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:54:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:54:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:54:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:54:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:54:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:54:53 User actions detected.
05:54:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:54:53 Dome is MaxDome
05:54:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:54:53 Imager is ASCOM
05:54:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:54:53 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@055300 UTC
05:54:53 Imager readout modes:
05:54:53   0 is Fast
05:54:53   1 is Normal
05:54:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:54:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:54:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:54:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:54:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:54:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:54:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:54:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:54:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:56:38   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:56:38   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:56:38   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:56:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:56:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.008 Y=608.0016
05:56:56 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:56:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:57:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.022 Y=608.0015
05:57:10   (guide star SNR=70.7 X=1326 Y=608)
05:57:10   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:57:15 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:57:15 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:57:15 **Autoguiding failed.
