07:07:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:07:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:07:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:07:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:07:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:07:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:07:10 User actions detected.
07:07:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:07:10 Dome is MaxDome
07:07:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:07:10 Imager is ASCOM
07:07:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:07:10 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250114@070034 UTC
07:07:10 Imager readout modes:
07:07:10   0 is Fast
07:07:10   1 is Normal
07:07:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:07:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:07:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:07:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:07:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:07:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:07:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:07:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:07:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:08:58   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
07:08:58   [sync] pointing model updated
07:08:58   Re-slew to target.
07:08:58   Start slew to U_Leo...
07:08:59   (wait for slew to complete)
07:09:09   (slew complete)
07:09:09   Target is now centered.
07:09:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:09:09   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:09:09   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:09:09   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:09:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:09:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=51 Y=65
07:09:26 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:09:26 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:09:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=879.5791 Y=846.351
07:09:40   (guide star SNR=4.9 X=879 Y=846)
07:09:40   (first exposure estimate 6.14 sec)
07:09:49 **No stars at all found in guider image
07:09:49 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:09:49 **Autoguiding failed.
