03:16:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:16:18 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:16:18   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:16:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:16:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:16:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:16:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:16:19 Dome is MaxDome
03:16:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:16:19 Imager is ASCOM
03:16:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:16:19 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250224@031543 UTC
03:16:19 Imager readout modes:
03:16:19   0 is Fast
03:16:19   1 is Normal
03:16:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:16:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:16:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:16:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:16:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:16:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:16:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:16:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:16:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:18:39   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:18:39   Focus change of 20 steps required
03:18:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:18:41   (using Fast readout mode)
03:18:41   (starting exposure)

03:19:03   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 14.1
03:19:03   Image finished
03:19:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:19:03   209 image stars found
03:19:03   150 catalog stars found
03:19:05   Solved! 49 stars matched.
03:19:05   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
03:19:05   Pointing error is 2.979 arcmin @ angle 280.22
03:19:05   True focal length is 3465.0 mm.
03:19:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

03:19:05   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:19:05   [sync] pointing model updated
03:19:05   Re-slew to target.
03:19:05   Start slew to U_Leo...
03:19:08   (wait for slew to complete)
03:19:17   (slew complete)
03:19:17   Target is now centered.
03:19:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:19:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:19:17   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:19:17   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:19:20   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:19:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1111.293 Y=218
03:19:34 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:19:35 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:19:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.111 Y=608
03:19:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:19:48 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:19:48 **Autoguiding failed.
