Licensed to Arne Henden
05:25:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:25:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:25:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:25:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:25:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:25:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:25:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:25:07 Dome is MaxDome
05:25:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:25:07 Imager is ASCOM
05:25:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:25:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250526@052426 UTC
05:25:07 Imager readout modes:
05:25:07   0 is Fast
05:25:07   1 is Normal
05:25:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:25:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:25:07 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:25:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:25:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:25:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:25:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:25:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:25:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:26:27   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:26:27   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:26:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:26:31   (using Fast readout mode)
05:26:31   (starting exposure)
05:26:54   (exposure complete)
05:26:56   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:26:56   Camera temp (deg.C) = -8.9
05:26:57   Focuser position = 3328
05:26:57   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.8
05:26:57   Image finished
05:26:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:26:58   924 image stars found
05:26:58   342 catalog stars found
05:26:59   Solved! 111 stars matched.
05:27:00   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
05:27:00   Pointing error is 6.481 arcmin @ angle 252.69
05:27:00   True focal length is 3464.6 mm.
05:27:00   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:27:00   True image center (J2000): 18h 03m 25.8s   -00° 19' 47.17"
05:27:00   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:27:00   [sync] pointing model updated
05:27:00   Re-slew to target.
05:27:00   Start slew to NGC_6535...
05:27:01   (wait for slew to complete)
05:27:16   (slew complete)
05:27:16   Target is now centered.
05:27:16   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:27:16   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:27:16   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
05:27:16   Focus change of 50 steps required
05:27:19   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:27:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=508.9759 Y=894.9893
05:27:29 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:27:29 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:27:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.828 Y=607.9998
05:27:42 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:27:43 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
