03:32:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:32:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:32:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:32:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:32:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:32:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:32:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:32:33 Dome is MaxDome
03:32:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:32:33 Imager is ASCOM
03:32:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:32:33 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@033108 UTC
03:32:33 Imager readout modes:
03:32:33   0 is Fast
03:32:33   1 is Normal
03:32:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:32:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:32:33 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:32:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:32:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:32:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:32:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:32:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:32:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:33:42   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:33:42   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:33:46   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:33:46   (using Fast readout mode)
03:33:46   (starting exposure)
03:34:08   (exposure complete)
03:34:11   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:34:11   Camera temp (deg.C) = -4.9
03:34:12   Focuser position = 3293
03:34:12   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 25.3
03:34:12   Image finished
03:34:12   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:34:13   679 image stars found
03:34:13   331 catalog stars found
03:34:14   Solved! 123 stars matched.
03:34:14   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:34:14   Pointing error is 2.991 arcmin @ angle 63.71
03:34:14   True focal length is 3465.1 mm.
03:34:14   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:34:14   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 31.2s   44° 02' 28.01"
03:34:14   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
03:34:14   [sync] pointing model updated
03:34:14   Re-slew to target.
03:34:14   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
03:34:16   (wait for slew to complete)
03:34:30   (slew complete)
03:34:30   Target is now centered.
03:34:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:34:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:34:30   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:34:30   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:34:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:34:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.771 Y=608.7455
03:34:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:34:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:34:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.018 Y=608.0035
03:34:56   (guide star SNR=31.9 X=1326 Y=608)
03:34:57   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
03:35:02 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:35:02 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:35:02 **Autoguiding failed.
