10:16:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:16:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:16:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:16:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:16:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:16:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:16:55 User actions detected.
10:16:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:16:55 Dome is MaxDome
10:16:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:16:56 Imager is ASCOM
10:16:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:16:56 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@100040 UTC
10:16:56 Imager readout modes:
10:16:56   0 is Fast
10:16:56   1 is Normal
10:16:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:16:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:16:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:16:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:16:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:17:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:17:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:17:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:17:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:18:02   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:18:02   Focus change of -50 steps required
10:18:05   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:18:05   (using Fast readout mode)

10:18:30   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:18:30   422 image stars found
10:18:30   307 catalog stars found
10:18:31   Solved! 102 stars matched.
10:18:31   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
10:18:31   Pointing error is 1.081 arcmin @ angle 19.27
10:18:31   True focal length is 3462.5 mm.
10:18:31   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.90
10:18:32   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 35.1s   67° 05' 47.00"
10:18:32   Imager sky position angle is 179.4 deg.
10:18:32   [sync] pointing model updated
10:18:32   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:18:32   Target is now centered.
10:18:32   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:18:32   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:18:32   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:18:32   Focus change of 290 steps required

10:19:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=50.84673 Y=65.26517
10:19:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:19:04 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:19:04 **Autoguiding failed.
