10:19:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:19:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:19:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:19:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:19:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:19:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:19:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:19:06 Dome is MaxDome
10:19:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:19:07 Imager is ASCOM
10:19:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:19:07 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250524@101548 UTC
10:19:07 Imager readout modes:
10:19:07   0 is Fast
10:19:07   1 is Normal
10:19:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:19:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:19:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:19:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:19:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:19:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:19:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:19:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:19:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:20:27   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:20:27   No focus change required
10:20:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:20:27   (using Fast readout mode)
10:20:27   (starting exposure)
10:20:45   (exposure complete)
10:20:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:20:47   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9.6
10:20:49   Focuser position = 3366
10:20:49   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.4
10:20:49   Image finished
10:20:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:20:50   229 image stars found
10:20:50   212 catalog stars found
10:20:51   Solved! 50 stars matched.
10:20:51   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
10:20:51   Pointing error is 3.358 arcmin @ angle 283.24
10:20:51   True focal length is 3468.8 mm.
10:20:51   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:20:51   True image center (J2000): 20h 57m 58.9s   43° 54' 29.48"
10:20:51   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:20:51   [sync] pointing model updated
10:20:51   Re-slew to target.
10:20:51   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
10:20:53   (wait for slew to complete)
10:21:03   (slew complete)
10:21:03   Target is now centered.
10:21:03   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:21:03   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:21:03   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
10:21:03   No focus change required
10:21:03   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:21:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326 Y=607.9962
10:21:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:21:14 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:21:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1303.476 Y=596.0778
10:21:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:21:28 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:21:28 **Autoguiding failed.
