06:04:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:04:09 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:04:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:04:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:04:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:04:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:04:10 Dome is MaxDome
06:04:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:04:10 Imager is ASCOM
06:04:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:04:10 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@060338 UTC
06:04:10 Imager readout modes:
06:04:10   0 is Fast
06:04:10   1 is Normal
06:04:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:04:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:04:10 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:04:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:04:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:04:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:04:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:04:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:04:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:05:13   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:05:13   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:05:16   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:05:16   (using Fast readout mode)

06:05:40   Start slew to NSV-6690...
06:05:41   (wait for slew to complete)
06:05:57   (slew complete)
06:05:57   Target is now centered.
06:05:57   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:05:57   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:05:57   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
06:05:57   Focus change of 320 steps required
06:06:01   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:06:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=728.0392 Y=398.1046
06:06:14   (guide star SNR=10.8 X=728 Y=398)
06:06:15   (first exposure estimate 1.39 sec)

06:06:37 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
06:06:38   (take guider image at initial interval 1.35 sec)
06:06:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
06:06:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:06:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:06:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.185 Y=608.1153
06:06:57   (guide star SNR=8.5 X=1326 Y=608)
06:06:57   (first exposure estimate 3.54 sec)
06:07:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:07:04 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:07:04 **Autoguiding failed.
