Licensed to Arne Henden
06:24:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:24:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:24:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:24:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:24:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:24:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:24:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:24:27 Dome is MaxDome
06:24:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:24:27 Imager is ASCOM
06:24:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:24:27 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250526@062351 UTC
06:24:27 Imager readout modes:
06:24:27   0 is Fast
06:24:27   1 is Normal
06:24:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:24:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:24:27 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:24:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:24:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:24:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:24:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:24:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:24:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:25:06   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:25:06   Focus change of -290 steps required
06:25:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:25:09   (using Fast readout mode)
06:25:09   (starting exposure)
06:25:32   (exposure complete)
06:25:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:25:34   Camera temp (deg.C) = -10
06:25:35   Focuser position = 3383
06:25:35   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 20.5
06:25:35   Image finished
06:25:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:25:36   290 image stars found
06:25:36   281 catalog stars found
06:25:37   Solved! 76 stars matched.
06:25:37   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
06:25:37   Pointing error is 2.611 arcmin @ angle 219.28
06:25:37   True focal length is 3468.6 mm.
06:25:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:25:37   True image center (J2000): 18h 01m 59.6s   18° 02' 42.75"
06:25:37   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:25:37   [sync] pointing model updated
06:25:37   Re-slew to target.
06:25:37   Start slew to V884_Her...
06:25:38   (wait for slew to complete)
06:25:54   (slew complete)
06:25:54   Target is now centered.
06:25:54   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:25:54   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:25:54   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:25:54   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:25:57   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:26:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=851.0027 Y=961
06:26:12 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:26:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:26:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.012 Y=608.0026
06:26:26 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:26:26 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:26:26 **Autoguiding failed.
