08:16:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:16:21 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:16:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:16:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:16:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:16:22 User actions detected.
08:16:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:16:22 Dome is MaxDome
08:16:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:16:22 Imager is ASCOM
08:16:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:16:22 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250207@081550 UTC
08:16:22 Imager readout modes:
08:16:22   0 is Fast
08:16:22   1 is Normal
08:16:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:16:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:16:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:16:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:16:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:16:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:16:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:16:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:16:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:17:47   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:17:47   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:17:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:17:50   (using Fast readout mode)

08:18:11   276 image stars found
08:18:11   127 catalog stars found
08:18:12   Solved! 42 stars matched.
08:18:12   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
08:18:12   Pointing error is 0.497 arcmin @ angle 315.98
08:18:12   True focal length is 3470.7 mm.
08:18:12   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:18:12   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 50.3s   09° 01' 09.44"
08:18:12   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
08:18:12   [sync] pointing model updated
08:18:12   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:18:12   Target is now centered.
08:18:12   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:18:12   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:18:12   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:18:12   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:18:15   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:18:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326 Y=608
08:18:29 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:18:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:18:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=711 Y=329
08:18:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:18:43 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:18:43 **Autoguiding failed.
