04:53:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:53:49 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:53:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:53:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:53:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:53:50 User actions detected.
04:53:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:53:50 Dome is MaxDome
04:53:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:53:50 Imager is ASCOM
04:53:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:53:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@045211 UTC
04:53:50 Imager readout modes:
04:53:50   0 is Fast
04:53:50   1 is Normal
04:53:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:53:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:53:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:53:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:53:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:53:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:53:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:53:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:53:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:53:50 ACPS Observation NGC_6333(1 of 1)
04:53:50   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6333)
04:53:50   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:53:50 Pointing updates are enabled
04:53:50 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:53:50   Start slew to NGC_6333...

04:55:16   2730 image stars found
04:55:17   72 catalog stars found
04:55:18   Solved! 30 stars matched.
04:55:18   Average residual is 0.17 arcsec.
04:55:18   Pointing error is 0.535 arcmin @ angle 54.34
04:55:18   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
04:55:18   True focal length is 3467.6 mm.
04:55:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
04:55:18   True image center (J2000): 17h 19m 13.1s   -18° 30' 38.69"
04:55:18   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
04:55:18   Image FWHM is 3.7 arcsec (8.27 pixels)
04:55:18   (avg FWHM = 3.48 arcsec)
04:55:18   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.

04:55:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:55:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:55:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.912 Y=607.7891
04:55:26 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:55:26 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:55:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.021 Y=608.0051
04:55:40   (guide star SNR=88.6 X=1326 Y=608)
04:55:40   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:55:45 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:55:45 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:55:45 **Autoguiding failed.
