Licensed to Arne Henden
04:21:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:21:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:21:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:21:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:21:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:21:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:21:06 User actions detected.
04:21:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:21:06 Dome is MaxDome
04:21:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:21:06 Imager is ASCOM
04:21:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:21:06 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@041913 UTC
04:21:06 Imager readout modes:
04:21:06   0 is Fast
04:21:06   1 is Normal
04:21:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:21:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:21:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:21:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:21:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:21:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:21:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:21:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:21:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:22:04   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:22:04   Focus change of -50 steps required
04:22:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:22:06   (using Fast readout mode)
04:22:06   (starting exposure)

04:22:34   [sync] pointing model updated
04:22:34   Re-slew to target.
04:22:34   Start slew to NSV-6690...
04:22:36   (wait for slew to complete)
04:22:46   (slew complete)
04:22:46   Target is now centered.
04:22:46   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:22:46   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:22:46   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
04:22:46   Focus change of 320 steps required
04:22:49   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:23:02   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.946 Y=608.0289
04:23:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:23:03 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:23:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.924 Y=607.9899
04:23:16   (guide star SNR=71.8 X=1326 Y=608)
04:23:17   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:23:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:23:22 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:23:22 **Autoguiding failed.
