09:03:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:03:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:03:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:03:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:03:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:03:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:03:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:03:48 Dome is MaxDome
09:03:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:03:49 Imager is ASCOM
09:03:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:03:49 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250526@090109 UTC
09:03:49 Imager readout modes:
09:03:49   0 is Fast
09:03:49   1 is Normal
09:03:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:03:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:03:49 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:03:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:03:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:03:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:03:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:03:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:03:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:04:38   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:04:38   Focus change of 20 steps required
09:04:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:04:41   (using Fast readout mode)
09:04:41   (starting exposure)
09:04:56   (exposure complete)
09:04:58   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:04:58   Camera temp (deg.C) = -10
09:04:59   Focuser position = 3416
09:04:59   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 18.6
09:05:00   Image finished
09:05:00   Plate-solve pointing image.

09:05:00   254 catalog stars found
09:05:05   Solved! 27 stars matched.
09:05:05   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
09:05:05   Pointing error is 7.142 arcmin @ angle 255.62

09:05:05   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
09:05:05   [sync] pointing model updated
09:05:05   Re-slew to target.
09:05:05   Start slew to NGC_7089...
09:05:06   (wait for slew to complete)
09:05:21   (slew complete)
09:05:21   Target is now centered.
09:05:21   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:05:21   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:05:21   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
09:05:22   Focus change of 50 steps required
09:05:25   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:05:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=984 Y=421
09:05:35 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:05:35 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:05:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.7328 Y=456.9851
09:05:49 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:05:49 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
