Licensed to Arne Henden
05:28:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:28:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:28:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:28:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:28:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:28:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:28:20 User actions detected.
05:28:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:28:20 Dome is MaxDome
05:28:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:28:20 Imager is ASCOM
05:28:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:28:20 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@035911 UTC
05:28:20 Imager readout modes:
05:28:20   0 is Fast
05:28:20   1 is Normal
05:28:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:28:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:28:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:28:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:28:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:28:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:28:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:28:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:28:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:29:50   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:29:50   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging

05:29:54   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:30:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.81 Y=607.7409
05:30:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:30:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:30:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.78 Y=607.9864
05:30:19   (guide star SNR=47.8 X=1326 Y=608)
05:30:20   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:30:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:30:25 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:30:25 **Autoguiding failed.
