Licensed to Arne Henden
09:49:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:49:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:49:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:49:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:49:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:49:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:49:26 User actions detected.
09:49:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:49:26 Dome is MaxDome
09:49:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:49:26 Imager is ASCOM
09:49:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:49:26 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240710@094738 UTC
09:49:26 Imager readout modes:
09:49:26   0 is Fast
09:49:26   1 is Normal
09:49:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:49:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:49:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:49:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:49:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:49:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:49:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:49:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:49:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:49:27 ==== Starting target AE_And ====

09:50:14   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:50:14   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:50:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:50:17   (using Fast readout mode)

09:50:43   Start slew to AE_And...
09:50:45   (wait for slew to complete)
09:50:55   (slew complete)
09:50:55   Target is now centered.
09:50:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:50:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:50:55   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:50:55   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:51:00   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:51:12   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.9968 Y=347.1624
09:51:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:51:13 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:51:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.005 Y=608.1306
09:51:26   (guide star SNR=22.3 X=1326 Y=608)
09:51:26   (first exposure estimate 1.34 sec)
09:51:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:51:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:51:31 **Autoguiding failed.
