Licensed to Arne Henden
08:09:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:09:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:09:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:09:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:09:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:09:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:09:34 User actions detected.
08:09:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:09:34 Dome is MaxDome
08:09:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:09:34 Imager is ASCOM
08:09:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:09:34 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240625@080720 UTC
08:09:34 Imager readout modes:
08:09:34   0 is Fast
08:09:34   1 is Normal
08:09:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:09:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:09:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:09:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:09:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:09:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:09:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:09:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:09:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:11:23   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:11:23   Focus change of -320 steps required
08:11:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:11:27   (using Fast readout mode)
08:11:27   (starting exposure)

08:11:57   Start slew to V630_Cas...
08:11:59   (wait for slew to complete)
08:12:09   (slew complete)
08:12:09   Target is now centered.
08:12:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:12:09   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:12:09   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:12:09   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:12:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:12:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.4587 Y=459.2352
08:12:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:12:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:12:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9697 Y=458.9926
08:12:41   (guide star SNR=36.7 X=913 Y=459)
08:12:41   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:12:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:12:46 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:12:46 **Autoguiding failed.
