07:13:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:13:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:13:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:13:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:13:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:13:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:13:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:13:29 Dome is MaxDome
07:13:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:13:29 Imager is ASCOM
07:13:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:13:29 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@071222 UTC
07:13:29 Imager readout modes:
07:13:29   0 is Fast
07:13:29   1 is Normal
07:13:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:13:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:13:29 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:13:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:13:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:13:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:13:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:13:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:13:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:13:36 ==== Starting target NGC_6642 ====
07:13:36 ACPS Observation NGC_6642(1 of 1)
07:13:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6642)
07:13:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:13:37 Pointing updates are enabled
07:13:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:13:37   Start slew to NGC_6642...
07:13:38   (wait for slew to complete)
07:13:58   (slew complete)
07:13:58   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
07:13:58     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-5424s GW=T HAz=-5004s DWz=T WF=no]
07:13:58   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:13:58   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:13:58   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:14:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1283.472 Y=183.373
07:14:06   (guide star SNR=10.4 X=1283 Y=183)
07:14:06   (first exposure estimate 1.44 sec)
07:14:11   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=1283 Y=183)
07:14:11   (final exposure for guiding 1.57 sec)
07:14:16   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=1283 Y=184)
07:14:29 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
07:14:30   (take guider image at initial interval 1.57 sec)
07:14:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=686 Y=583.9827
07:14:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:14:35 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:14:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.101 Y=608.0244
07:14:49   (guide star SNR=17.6 X=1326 Y=608)
07:14:49   (first exposure estimate 1.71 sec)
07:14:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:14:54 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:14:54 **Autoguiding failed.
