08:22:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:22:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:22:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:22:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:22:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:22:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:22:09 User actions detected.
08:22:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:22:09 Dome is MaxDome
08:22:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:22:09 Imager is ASCOM
08:22:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:22:09 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250115@082133 UTC
08:22:09 Imager readout modes:
08:22:09   0 is Fast
08:22:09   1 is Normal
08:22:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:22:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:22:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:22:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:22:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:22:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:22:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:22:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:22:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:24:05   415 catalog stars found
08:24:07   Solved! 105 stars matched.
08:24:07   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.

08:24:07   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
08:24:07   [sync] pointing model updated
08:24:07   Re-slew to target.
08:24:07   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
08:24:09   (wait for slew to complete)
08:24:19   (slew complete)
08:24:19   Target is now centered.
08:24:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:24:19   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:24:19   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:24:19   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:24:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:24:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=986.3123 Y=935.3156
08:24:37   (guide star SNR=12.0 X=986 Y=936)
08:24:37   (first exposure estimate 1.25 sec)
08:24:41 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:24:42 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:24:42 **Autoguiding failed.
