06:01:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:01:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:01:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:01:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:01:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:01:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:01:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:01:58 Dome is MaxDome
06:01:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:01:58 Imager is ASCOM
06:01:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:01:58 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@060126 UTC
06:01:58 Imager readout modes:
06:01:58   0 is Fast
06:01:58   1 is Normal
06:01:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:01:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:01:58 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:01:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:01:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:02:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:02:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:02:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:02:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:02:05 ==== Starting target NGC_6333 ====
06:02:05 ACPS Observation NGC_6333(1 of 1)
06:02:06   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6333)
06:02:06   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:02:06 Pointing updates are enabled
06:02:06 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:02:06   Start slew to NGC_6333...
06:02:07   (wait for slew to complete)
06:02:27   (slew complete)
06:02:27   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
06:02:27     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-5361s GW=T HAz=-4941s DWz=T WF=no]
06:02:27   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:02:27   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:02:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:02:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=859.6824 Y=831.1303
06:02:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:02:35 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:02:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.85 Y=608.035
06:02:49   (guide star SNR=25.1 X=1326 Y=608)
06:02:49   (first exposure estimate 1.2 sec)
06:02:54 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:02:54 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:02:54 **Autoguiding failed.
