Licensed to Arne Henden
09:10:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:10:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:10:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:10:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:10:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:10:09 User actions detected.
09:10:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:10:09 Dome is MaxDome
09:10:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:10:09 Imager is ASCOM
09:10:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:10:09 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240726@090928 UTC
09:10:09 Imager readout modes:
09:10:09   0 is Fast
09:10:09   1 is Normal
09:10:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:10:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:10:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:10:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:10:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:10:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:10:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:10:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:10:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:10:31   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:10:31   Focus change of 20 steps required
09:10:33   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:10:33   (using Fast readout mode)
09:10:33   (starting exposure)

09:10:55   Start slew to M56_V6...
09:10:57   (wait for slew to complete)
09:11:07   (slew complete)
09:11:07   Target is now centered.
09:11:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:11:07   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:11:07   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:11:07   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:11:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:11:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=511.3058 Y=368.2552
09:11:24   (guide star SNR=16.8 X=511 Y=369)
09:11:24   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)

09:11:28   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
09:11:33   (guide star SNR=4.0 X=511 Y=368)
09:11:34 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
09:11:35   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
09:11:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=509.2508 Y=301
09:11:40 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:11:40 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:11:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.834 Y=607.9819
09:11:53   (guide star SNR=37.7 X=1326 Y=608)
09:11:53   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:11:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:11:58 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:11:58 **Autoguiding failed.
