08:08:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:08:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:08:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:08:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:08:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:08:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:08:03 User actions detected.
08:08:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:08:03 Dome is MaxDome
08:08:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:08:03 Imager is ASCOM
08:08:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:08:03 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@080403 UTC
08:08:03 Imager readout modes:
08:08:03   0 is Fast
08:08:03   1 is Normal
08:08:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:08:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:08:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:08:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:08:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:08:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:08:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:08:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:08:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:09:35   151 catalog stars found
08:09:36   Solved! 51 stars matched.
08:09:36   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
08:09:36   Pointing error is 1.677 arcmin @ angle 296.86
08:09:36   True focal length is 3464.1 mm.
08:09:36   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

08:09:36   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:09:36   [sync] pointing model updated
08:09:36   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:09:36   Target is now centered.

08:09:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1120 Y=625
08:09:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:09:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:10:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1120 Y=625
