06:33:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:33:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:33:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:33:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:33:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:33:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:33:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:33:44 Dome is MaxDome
06:33:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:33:44 Imager is ASCOM
06:33:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:33:44 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@062853 UTC
06:33:44 Imager readout modes:
06:33:44   0 is Fast
06:33:44   1 is Normal
06:33:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:33:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:33:44 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:33:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:33:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:33:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:33:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:33:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:33:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:33:53 ==== Starting target NGC_6356 ====
06:33:53 ACPS Observation NGC_6356(1 of 1)
06:33:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6356)
06:33:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:33:53 Pointing updates are enabled
06:33:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:33:53   Start slew to NGC_6356...
06:33:55   (wait for slew to complete)
06:34:14   (slew complete)
06:34:14   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
06:34:14     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-3711s GW=T HAz=-3291s DWz=T WF=no]
06:34:14   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:34:14   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:34:14   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:34:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=96.03113 Y=530.1423
06:34:23 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:34:23 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:34:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.987 Y=607.9826
06:34:36   (guide star SNR=18.3 X=1326 Y=608)
06:34:37   (first exposure estimate 1.64 sec)
06:34:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:34:41 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:34:41 **Autoguiding failed.
