Licensed to Arne Henden
06:01:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:01:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:01:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:01:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:01:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:01:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:01:15 User actions detected.
06:01:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:01:15 Dome is MaxDome
06:01:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:01:15 Imager is ASCOM
06:01:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:01:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240618@060034 UTC
06:01:15 Imager readout modes:
06:01:15   0 is Fast
06:01:15   1 is Normal
06:01:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:01:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:01:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:01:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:01:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:01:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:01:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:01:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:01:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:01:57   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:01:57   Focus change of -290 steps required
06:02:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)

06:02:33   Start slew to NSV_11154...
06:02:34   (wait for slew to complete)
06:02:44   (slew complete)
06:02:44   Target is now centered.
06:02:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:02:44   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:02:44   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
06:02:44   Focus change of -20 steps required
06:02:47   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:03:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.081 Y=608.0823
06:03:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:03:01 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:03:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.987 Y=607.9921
06:03:15   (guide star SNR=74.8 X=1326 Y=608)
06:03:15   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:03:20 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:03:20 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:03:20 **Autoguiding failed.
