05:53:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:53:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:53:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:53:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:53:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:53:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:53:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:53:43 Dome is MaxDome
05:53:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:53:43 Imager is ASCOM
05:53:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:53:43 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250526@054902 UTC
05:53:43 Imager readout modes:
05:53:43   0 is Fast
05:53:43   1 is Normal
05:53:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:53:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:53:43 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:53:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:53:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:53:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:53:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:53:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:53:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:55:27   Start slew to IC_1276...
05:55:28   (wait for slew to complete)
05:55:42   (slew complete)
05:55:42   Target is now centered.
05:55:42   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:55:42   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:55:42   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
05:55:42   Focus change of 50 steps required
05:55:45   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:55:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=948.8414 Y=334.3583
05:55:55   (guide star SNR=13.0 X=949 Y=334)

05:56:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:56:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:56:25 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:56:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.026 Y=608.1817
05:56:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:56:39 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:56:39 **Autoguiding failed.
