Licensed to Arne Henden
06:21:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:21:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:21:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:21:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:21:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:21:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:21:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:21:10 Dome is MaxDome
06:21:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:21:10 Imager is ASCOM
06:21:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:21:10 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@062038 UTC
06:21:10 Imager readout modes:
06:21:10   0 is Fast
06:21:10   1 is Normal
06:21:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:21:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:21:10 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:21:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:21:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:21:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:21:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:21:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:21:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:21:17 ==== Starting target NGC_6287 ====
06:21:17 ACPS Observation NGC_6287(1 of 1)
06:21:18   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6287)
06:21:18   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:21:18 Pointing updates are enabled
06:21:18 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:21:18   Start slew to NGC_6287...
06:21:19   (wait for slew to complete)
06:21:43   (slew complete)
06:21:43   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
06:21:43     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-5727s GW=T HAz=-5307s DWz=T WF=no]
06:21:43   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:21:43   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:21:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:21:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723.0004 Y=913
06:21:51 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:21:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:22:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.018 Y=608.0074
06:22:05   (guide star SNR=15.7 X=1326 Y=608)
06:22:05   (first exposure estimate 1.92 sec)
06:22:10 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:22:10 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:22:10 **Autoguiding failed.
