Licensed to Arne Henden
03:05:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:05:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:05:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:05:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:05:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:05:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:05:13 User actions detected.
03:05:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:05:13 Dome is MaxDome
03:05:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:05:13 Imager is ASCOM
03:05:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:05:13 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250206@030052 UTC
03:05:13 Imager readout modes:
03:05:13   0 is Fast
03:05:13   1 is Normal
03:05:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:05:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:05:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:05:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:05:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:05:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:05:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:05:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:05:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:06:58   211 catalog stars found
03:06:59   Solved! 82 stars matched.
03:06:59   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
03:06:59   Pointing error is 1.624 arcmin @ angle 60.58
03:06:59   True focal length is 3464.1 mm.
03:06:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:06:59   True image center (J2000): 08h 54m 54.9s   20° 07' 18.46"
03:06:59   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:06:59   [sync] pointing model updated
03:06:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:06:59   Target is now centered.
03:06:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:06:59   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:06:59   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:06:59   Focus change of 320 steps required

03:07:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=826 Y=874
03:07:17 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:07:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:07:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1039.995 Y=307.9367
03:07:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:07:31 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:07:31 **Autoguiding failed.
