Licensed to Arne Henden
03:52:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:52:08 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:52:08   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:52:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:52:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:52:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:52:09 User actions detected.
03:52:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:52:09 Dome is MaxDome
03:52:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:52:09 Imager is ASCOM
03:52:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:52:09 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250123@034754 UTC
03:52:09 Imager readout modes:
03:52:09   0 is Fast
03:52:09   1 is Normal
03:52:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:52:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:52:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:52:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:52:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:52:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:52:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:52:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:52:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:53:55   305 image stars found
03:53:55   211 catalog stars found
03:53:56   Solved! 67 stars matched.
03:53:57   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:53:57   Pointing error is 1.521 arcmin @ angle 15.36
03:53:57   True focal length is 3467.7 mm.
03:53:57   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:53:57   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 50.6s   20° 07' 58.58"
03:53:57   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:53:57   [sync] pointing model updated
03:53:57   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:53:57   Target is now centered.
03:53:57   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:53:57   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:53:57   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:53:57   Focus change of 320 steps required

03:54:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161 Y=865
03:54:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:54:14 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:54:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:54:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:54:28 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:54:28 **Autoguiding failed.
