Licensed to Arne Henden
09:53:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:53:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:53:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:53:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:53:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:53:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:53:15 User actions detected.
09:53:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:53:15 Dome is MaxDome
09:53:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:53:15 Imager is ASCOM
09:53:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:53:15 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240704@095234 UTC
09:53:15 Imager readout modes:
09:53:15   0 is Fast
09:53:15   1 is Normal
09:53:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:53:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:53:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:53:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:53:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:53:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:53:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:53:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:53:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:54:44   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:54:44   Focus change of -320 steps required
09:54:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:54:48   (using Fast readout mode)

09:55:19   [sync] pointing model updated
09:55:19   Re-slew to target.
09:55:19   Start slew to B0133+47...
09:55:21   (wait for slew to complete)
09:55:31   (slew complete)
09:55:31   Target is now centered.
09:55:31   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:55:31   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:55:31   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:55:31   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:55:34   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:55:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=91.98759 Y=498.8151
09:55:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:55:49 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:56:02   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.009 Y=607.9941
09:56:03   (guide star SNR=42.8 X=1326 Y=608)
09:56:03   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:56:08 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:56:08 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:56:08 **Autoguiding failed.
