Licensed to Arne Henden
09:34:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:34:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:34:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:34:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:34:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:34:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:34:15 User actions detected.
09:34:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:34:15 Dome is MaxDome
09:34:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:34:15 Imager is ASCOM
09:34:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:34:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240726@093311 UTC
09:34:15 Imager readout modes:
09:34:15   0 is Fast
09:34:15   1 is Normal
09:34:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:34:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:34:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:34:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:34:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:34:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:34:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:34:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:34:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:36:00   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
09:36:01   (wait for slew to complete)
09:36:11   (slew complete)
09:36:11   Target is now centered.
09:36:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:36:11   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:36:11   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:36:11   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:36:15   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:36:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.273 Y=608.1813
09:36:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:36:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:36:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.861 Y=607.9962
09:36:42   (guide star SNR=33.8 X=1326 Y=608)
09:36:42   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:36:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:36:47 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:36:47 **Autoguiding failed.
