Licensed to Arne Henden
09:41:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:41:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:41:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:41:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:41:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:41:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:41:57 User actions detected.
09:41:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:41:57 Dome is MaxDome
09:41:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:41:57 Imager is ASCOM
09:41:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:41:57 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240710@093928 UTC
09:41:57 Imager readout modes:
09:41:57   0 is Fast
09:41:57   1 is Normal
09:41:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:41:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:41:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:41:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:41:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:41:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:41:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:41:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:41:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:41:57 ==== Starting target AF_And ====

09:42:19   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:42:19   Focus change of -290 steps required
09:42:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:42:22   (using Fast readout mode)
09:42:22   (starting exposure)
09:42:44   (exposure complete)

09:42:50   240 catalog stars found
09:42:52   Solved! 67 stars matched.
09:42:52   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.

09:42:52   [sync] pointing model updated
09:42:52   Re-slew to target.
09:42:52   Start slew to AF_And...
09:42:54   (wait for slew to complete)
09:43:04   (slew complete)
09:43:04   Target is now centered.
09:43:04   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:43:04   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:43:04   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:43:04   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:43:08   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:43:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.871 Y=459.1171
09:43:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:43:21 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:43:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.87 Y=608.0419
09:43:35   (guide star SNR=33.1 X=1326 Y=608)
09:43:35   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:43:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:43:40 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:43:40 **Autoguiding failed.
