07:17:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:17:20 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:17:20   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:17:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:17:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:17:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:17:21 User actions detected.
07:17:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:17:21 Dome is MaxDome
07:17:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:17:22 Imager is ASCOM
07:17:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:17:22 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240726@071446 UTC
07:17:22 Imager readout modes:
07:17:22   0 is Fast
07:17:22   1 is Normal
07:17:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:17:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:17:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:17:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:17:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:17:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:17:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:17:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:17:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:18:54   Start slew to V0704_And...
07:18:55   (wait for slew to complete)
07:19:05   (slew complete)
07:19:05   Target is now centered.
07:19:05   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:19:05   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:19:05   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
07:19:05   Focus change of 320 steps required
07:19:09   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:19:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.9963 Y=346.9244
07:19:23 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:19:23 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:19:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.957 Y=607.934
07:19:36   (guide star SNR=54.0 X=1326 Y=608)
07:19:36   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:19:41 **No stars at all found in guider image
07:19:41 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:19:41 **Autoguiding failed.
