09:48:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:48:55 Dome is MaxDome
09:48:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

09:48:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:48:56 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240714@094817 UTC
09:48:56 Imager readout modes:
09:48:56   0 is Fast
09:48:56   1 is Normal
09:48:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:48:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:48:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:48:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:48:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:48:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:48:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:48:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:48:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:50:14   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:50:14   No focus change required
09:50:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:50:14   (using Fast readout mode)
09:50:14   (starting exposure)

09:51:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:51:39 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:51:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.991 Y=608.1189
09:51:52   (guide star SNR=28.4 X=1326 Y=608)
