06:22:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:22:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:22:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:22:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:22:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:22:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:22:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:22:18 Dome is MaxDome
06:22:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:22:19 Imager is ASCOM
06:22:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:22:19 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@062038 UTC
06:22:19 Imager readout modes:
06:22:19   0 is Fast
06:22:19   1 is Normal
06:22:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:22:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:22:19 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:22:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:22:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:22:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:22:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:22:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:22:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:23:03   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:23:03   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:23:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:23:06   (using Fast readout mode)
06:23:06   (starting exposure)
06:23:25   (exposure complete)
06:23:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:23:27   Camera temp (deg.C) = -10
06:23:28   Focuser position = 3383
06:23:28   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 20.5
06:23:28   Image finished
06:23:28   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:23:29   3427 image stars found
06:23:30   221 catalog stars found
06:23:31   Solved! 122 stars matched.
06:23:31   Average residual is 0.2 arcsec.
06:23:31   Pointing error is 7.352 arcmin @ angle 252.88
06:23:31   True focal length is 3466.9 mm.

06:23:32   (wait for slew to complete)
06:23:47   (slew complete)
06:23:47   Target is now centered.
06:23:47   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:23:47   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:23:47   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:23:47   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:23:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:24:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=95 Y=530
06:24:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.

06:24:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.989 Y=608.0125
06:24:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:24:19 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:24:19 **Autoguiding failed.
