06:32:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:32:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:32:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:32:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:32:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:32:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:32:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:32:45 Dome is MaxDome
06:32:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:32:45 Imager is ASCOM
06:32:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:32:45 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@062853 UTC
06:32:45 Imager readout modes:
06:32:45   0 is Fast
06:32:45   1 is Normal
06:32:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:32:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:32:45 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:32:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:32:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:32:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:32:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:32:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:32:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:32:52 ==== Starting target NGC_6273 ====
06:32:52 ACPS Observation NGC_6273(1 of 1)
06:32:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6273)
06:32:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:32:53 Pointing updates are enabled
06:32:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:32:53   Start slew to NGC_6273...
06:32:54   (wait for slew to complete)
06:33:08   (slew complete)
06:33:08   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
06:33:08     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-2526s GW=T HAz=-2106s DWz=T WF=no]
06:33:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:33:08   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:33:08   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:33:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.194 Y=459.0889
06:33:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:33:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:33:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.096 Y=608.023
06:33:30   (guide star SNR=20.0 X=1326 Y=608)
06:33:30   (first exposure estimate 1.5 sec)
06:33:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:33:35 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:33:35 **Autoguiding failed.
