03:39:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:39:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:39:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:39:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:39:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:39:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:39:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:39:23 Dome is MaxDome
03:39:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:39:24 Imager is ASCOM
03:39:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:39:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250604@033751 UTC
03:39:24 Imager readout modes:
03:39:24   0 is Fast
03:39:24   1 is Normal
03:39:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:39:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:39:24 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:39:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:39:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:39:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:39:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:39:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:39:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:40:54   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:40:54   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:40:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:40:58   (using Fast readout mode)
03:40:58   (starting exposure)

03:41:23   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:41:23   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.5
03:41:25   Focuser position = 3347
03:41:25   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.8
03:41:25   Image finished
03:41:25   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:41:25   1159 image stars found
03:41:26   331 catalog stars found
03:41:27   Solved! 152 stars matched.
03:41:27   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
03:41:27   Pointing error is 2.908 arcmin @ angle 60.87
03:41:27   True focal length is 3464.9 mm.
03:41:27   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:41:27   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 30.4s   44° 02' 33.49"
03:41:27   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
03:41:27   [sync] pointing model updated
03:41:27   Re-slew to target.
03:41:27   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
03:41:30   (wait for slew to complete)
03:41:45   (slew complete)
03:41:45   Target is now centered.
03:41:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:41:45   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:41:45   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:41:45   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:41:47   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:41:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1051.831 Y=359.063
03:41:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:41:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:42:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.654 Y=608.0729
03:42:11   (guide star SNR=21.9 X=1326 Y=608)
03:42:11   (first exposure estimate 1.37 sec)
03:42:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:42:16 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:42:16 **Autoguiding failed.
