Licensed to Arne Henden
07:19:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:19:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:19:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:19:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:19:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:19:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:19:49 User actions detected.
07:19:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:19:49 Dome is MaxDome
07:19:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:19:49 Imager is ASCOM
07:19:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:19:49 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240726@071909 UTC
07:19:49 Imager readout modes:
07:19:49   0 is Fast
07:19:49   1 is Normal
07:19:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:19:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:19:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:19:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:19:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:19:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:19:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:19:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:19:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:21:38   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
07:21:40   (wait for slew to complete)
07:21:49   (slew complete)
07:21:49   Target is now centered.
07:21:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:21:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:21:49   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
07:21:49   Focus change of 50 steps required
07:21:52   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:22:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.653 Y=608.0754
07:22:02 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:22:02 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:22:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.055 Y=608.0548
07:22:15   (guide star SNR=50.0 X=1326 Y=608)
07:22:15   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:22:20 **No stars at all found in guider image
07:22:20 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:22:20 **Autoguiding failed.
