Licensed to Arne Henden
08:54:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:54:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:54:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:54:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:54:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:54:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:54:12 User actions detected.
08:54:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:54:12 Dome is MaxDome
08:54:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:54:12 Imager is ASCOM
08:54:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:54:12 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240706@032433 UTC
08:54:12 Imager readout modes:
08:54:12   0 is Fast
08:54:12   1 is Normal
08:54:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:54:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:54:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:54:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:54:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:54:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:54:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:54:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:54:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:55:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:55:52   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging

08:55:55   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:56:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.825 Y=608.1713
08:56:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:56:09 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:56:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.036 Y=608.0942
08:56:22   (guide star SNR=29.9 X=1326 Y=608)
08:56:22   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:56:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:56:27 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:56:27 **Autoguiding failed.
