Licensed to Arne Henden
06:29:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:29:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:29:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:29:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:29:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:29:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:29:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:29:49 Dome is MaxDome
06:29:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:29:49 Imager is ASCOM
06:29:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:29:49 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@062853 UTC
06:29:49 Imager readout modes:
06:29:49   0 is Fast
06:29:49   1 is Normal
06:29:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:29:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:29:49 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:29:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:29:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:29:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:29:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:29:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:29:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:29:57 ==== Starting target NGC_6401 ====
06:29:57 ACPS Observation NGC_6401(1 of 1)
06:29:57   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6401)
06:29:57   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:29:57 Pointing updates are enabled
06:29:57 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:29:57   Start slew to NGC_6401...
06:29:59   (wait for slew to complete)
06:30:18   (slew complete)
06:30:18   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
06:30:18     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-4854s GW=T HAz=-4434s DWz=T WF=no]
06:30:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:30:18   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:30:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:30:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=801.3927 Y=74.09321
06:30:26   (guide star SNR=13.6 X=801 Y=74)
06:30:27   (first exposure estimate 1.11 sec)
06:30:32   (guide star SNR=3.8 X=802 Y=74)
06:30:32   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
06:30:36   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=801 Y=74)
06:30:38 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
06:30:40   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
06:30:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=984.0009 Y=746
06:30:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:30:45 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:30:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.956 Y=608.0649
06:30:58   (guide star SNR=39.8 X=1326 Y=608)
06:30:58   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:31:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:31:03 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:31:03 **Autoguiding failed.
