Licensed to Arne Henden
03:28:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:28:39 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:28:39   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:28:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:28:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:28:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:28:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:28:40 Dome is MaxDome
03:28:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:28:41 Imager is ASCOM
03:28:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:28:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@032713 UTC
03:28:41 Imager readout modes:
03:28:41   0 is Fast
03:28:41   1 is Normal
03:28:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:28:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:28:41 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:28:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:28:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:28:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:28:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:28:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:28:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:28:48 ACPS Observation M5-V42(1 of 1)
03:28:48   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver5104, Plan M5-V42)
03:28:48   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:28:48 Pointing updates are enabled
03:28:48 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:28:48   (M5-V42 within tolerance, no slew needed)
03:28:48   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

03:28:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:28:49   Switching from V to B filter for imaging
03:28:49   Focus change of 30 steps required
03:28:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:29:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=915.4576 Y=461.2057
03:29:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:29:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:29:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.892 Y=607.9915
03:29:19   (guide star SNR=22.3 X=1326 Y=608)
03:29:19   (first exposure estimate 1.34 sec)
03:29:24 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:29:24 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:29:24 **Autoguiding failed.
03:29:24   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
