Licensed to Arne Henden
03:35:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:35:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:35:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:35:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:35:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:35:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:35:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:35:15 Dome is MaxDome
03:35:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:35:15 Imager is ASCOM
03:35:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:35:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250527@033351 UTC
03:35:15 Imager readout modes:
03:35:15   0 is Fast
03:35:15   1 is Normal
03:35:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:35:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:35:15 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:35:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:35:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:35:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:35:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:35:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:35:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:35:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=553.7619 Y=453.9618
03:35:56 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:35:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:36:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1330.543 Y=605.7217
03:36:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:36:09 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:36:09 **Autoguiding failed.
03:36:09   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
