Licensed to Arne Henden
05:12:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:12:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:12:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:12:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:12:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:12:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:12:45 User actions detected.
05:12:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:12:45 Dome is MaxDome
05:12:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:12:45 Imager is ASCOM
05:12:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:12:45 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@051052 UTC
05:12:45 Imager readout modes:
05:12:45   0 is Fast
05:12:45   1 is Normal
05:12:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:12:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:12:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:12:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:12:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:12:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:12:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:12:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:12:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:13:32   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:13:32   Focus change of -50 steps required
05:13:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)

05:14:04   Start slew to V2492_Cyg...
05:14:06   (wait for slew to complete)
05:14:15   (slew complete)
05:14:15   Target is now centered.
05:14:15   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:14:15   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:14:15   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
05:14:15   Focus change of -20 steps required
05:14:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:14:31   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.994 Y=608.0386
05:14:32 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:14:32 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:14:45   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9199 Y=459.0024
05:14:46   (guide star SNR=52.1 X=913 Y=459)
05:14:46   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:14:51 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:14:51 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:14:51 **Autoguiding failed.
