03:56:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:56:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:56:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:56:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:56:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:56:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:56:29 User actions detected.
03:56:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:56:30 Dome is MaxDome
03:56:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:56:30 Imager is ASCOM
03:56:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:56:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@035510 UTC
03:56:30 Imager readout modes:
03:56:30   0 is Fast
03:56:30   1 is Normal
03:56:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:56:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:56:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:56:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:56:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:56:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:56:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:56:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:56:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:58:17   (wait for slew to complete)
03:58:27   (slew complete)
03:58:27   Target is now centered.
03:58:27   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:58:27   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:58:27   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
03:58:27   Focus change of -360 steps required
03:58:31   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:58:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.806 Y=607.6785
03:58:44   (guide star SNR=22.2 X=1326 Y=608)
03:58:44   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
03:58:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:58:49 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:58:49 **Autoguiding failed.
