Licensed to Arne Henden
05:45:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:45:00 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:45:00   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:45:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:45:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:45:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:45:01 User actions detected.
05:45:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:45:01 Dome is MaxDome
05:45:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:45:02 Imager is ASCOM
05:45:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:45:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@054140 UTC
05:45:02 Imager readout modes:
05:45:02   0 is Fast
05:45:02   1 is Normal
05:45:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:45:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:45:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:45:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:45:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:45:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:45:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:45:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:45:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:46:07   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:46:07   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:46:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:46:11   (using Fast readout mode)

05:46:41   [sync] pointing model updated
05:46:41   Re-slew to target.
05:46:41   Start slew to U_Leo...
05:46:42   (wait for slew to complete)
05:46:52   (slew complete)
05:46:52   Target is now centered.
05:46:52   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:46:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:46:52   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:46:52   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:46:56   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:47:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:47:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:47:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:47:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1052 Y=359
05:47:24 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:47:24 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:47:24 **Autoguiding failed.
