08:38:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:38:21 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:38:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:38:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:38:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:38:22 User actions detected.
08:38:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:38:22 Dome is MaxDome
08:38:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:38:22 Imager is ASCOM
08:38:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:38:22 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240710@083741 UTC
08:38:22 Imager readout modes:
08:38:22   0 is Fast
08:38:22   1 is Normal
08:38:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:38:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:38:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:38:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:38:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:38:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:38:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:38:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:38:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:38:49   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:38:49   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:38:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:38:52   (using Fast readout mode)
08:38:52   (starting exposure)

08:39:21   [sync] pointing model updated
08:39:21   Re-slew to target.
08:39:21   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
08:39:23   (wait for slew to complete)
08:39:33   (slew complete)
08:39:33   Target is now centered.
08:39:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:39:33   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:39:33   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
08:39:33   Focus change of 50 steps required
08:39:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:39:45   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1145.999 Y=86.94644
08:39:46   (guide star SNR=11.7 X=1146 Y=85)
08:39:46   (first exposure estimate 1.28 sec)
08:39:51   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=1146 Y=85)
08:39:51   (final exposure for guiding 1.19 sec)
08:39:56   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=1142 Y=80)
08:40:08 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
08:40:10   (take guider image at initial interval 1.19 sec)
08:40:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
08:40:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:40:15 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:40:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.158 Y=608.1588
08:40:28   (guide star SNR=22.5 X=1326 Y=608)
08:40:28   (first exposure estimate 1.33 sec)
08:40:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:40:33 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:40:33 **Autoguiding failed.
