07:40:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:40:36 Dome is MaxDome
07:40:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

07:40:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:40:37 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240726@073958 UTC
07:40:37 Imager readout modes:
07:40:37   0 is Fast
07:40:37   1 is Normal
07:40:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:40:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:40:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:40:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:40:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:40:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:40:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:40:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:40:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:41:59   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
07:41:59   [sync] pointing model updated
07:41:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:41:59   Target is now centered.

07:42:02   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:42:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.9066 Y=347.0056
07:42:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:42:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:42:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0699 Y=459.021
07:42:30   (guide star SNR=21.8 X=913 Y=459)
07:42:30   (first exposure estimate 1.38 sec)
07:42:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:42:35 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:42:35 **Autoguiding failed.
