04:18:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:18:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:18:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:18:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:18:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:18:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:18:17 User actions detected.
04:18:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:18:17 Dome is MaxDome
04:18:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:18:18 Imager is ASCOM
04:18:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:18:18 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250206@041747 UTC
04:18:18 Imager readout modes:
04:18:18   0 is Fast
04:18:18   1 is Normal
04:18:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:18:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:18:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:18:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:18:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:18:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:18:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:18:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:18:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:19:29   260 image stars found
04:19:29   147 catalog stars found
04:19:30   Solved! 35 stars matched.
04:19:30   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
04:19:30   Pointing error is 0.478 arcmin @ angle 330.50
04:19:30   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
04:19:30   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:19:30   True image center (J2000): 05h 46m 12.2s   -00° 05' 39.85"
04:19:30   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:19:30   [sync] pointing model updated
04:19:30   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:19:30   Target is now centered.
04:19:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:19:30   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
04:19:30   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:19:30   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:19:34   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:19:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1160.602 Y=865
04:19:48 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:19:48 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:20:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=984 Y=421
04:20:02 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:20:02 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:20:02 **Autoguiding failed.
