08:22:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:22:18 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:22:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:22:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:22:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:22:19 User actions detected.
08:22:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:22:19 Dome is MaxDome
08:22:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:22:19 Imager is ASCOM
08:22:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:22:19 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240625@082141 UTC
08:22:19 Imager readout modes:
08:22:19   0 is Fast
08:22:19   1 is Normal
08:22:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:22:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:22:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:22:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:22:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:22:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:22:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:22:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:22:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:23:33   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:23:33   No focus change required

08:23:58   [sync] pointing model updated
08:23:58   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:23:58   Target is now centered.

08:23:58   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:23:58   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
08:23:58   No focus change required
08:23:58   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:24:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1052.226 Y=359.0744

08:24:10 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:24:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.064 Y=608.0494

08:24:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:24:29 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:24:29 **Autoguiding failed.
