Licensed to Arne Henden
10:23:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:23:41 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:23:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:23:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:23:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:23:43 User actions detected.
10:23:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:23:43 Dome is MaxDome
10:23:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:23:43 Imager is ASCOM
10:23:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:23:43 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240710@102232 UTC
10:23:43 Imager readout modes:
10:23:43   0 is Fast
10:23:43   1 is Normal
10:23:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:23:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:23:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:23:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:23:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:23:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:23:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:23:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:23:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:24:38   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:24:38   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:24:38   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:24:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:24:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=125.945 Y=668.2449
10:24:57   (guide star SNR=4.9 X=126 Y=668)
10:24:57   (first exposure estimate 3.05 sec)
10:25:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:25:04 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:25:04 **Autoguiding failed.
