Licensed to Arne Henden
07:24:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:24:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:24:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:24:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:24:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:24:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:24:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:24:57 Dome is MaxDome
07:24:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:24:57 Imager is ASCOM
07:24:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:24:57 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@072208 UTC
07:24:57 Imager readout modes:
07:24:57   0 is Fast
07:24:57   1 is Normal
07:24:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:24:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:24:57 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:24:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:24:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:25:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:25:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:25:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:25:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:25:05 ==== Starting target NGC_6656 ====
07:25:05 ACPS Observation NGC_6656(1 of 1)
07:25:05   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6656)
07:25:05   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:25:05 Pointing updates are enabled
07:25:05 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:25:05   Start slew to NGC_6656...
07:25:07   (wait for slew to complete)
07:25:26   (slew complete)
07:25:26   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
07:25:26     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-5004s GW=T HAz=-4584s DWz=T WF=no]
07:25:26   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:25:26   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:25:26   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:25:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=630.2289 Y=562.7332
07:25:34   (guide star SNR=14.8 X=633 Y=563)
07:25:34   (first exposure estimate 1.01 sec)
07:25:39   (guide star SNR=4.4 X=633 Y=563)
07:25:39   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
07:25:44   (guide star SNR=4.0 X=633 Y=563)
07:26:09 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
07:26:11   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
07:26:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1336.292 Y=682.5575
07:26:15   (guide star SNR=3.7 X=1336 Y=682)

07:26:40   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
07:26:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
07:26:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:26:45 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:26:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.067 Y=608.096
07:26:58   (guide star SNR=18.9 X=1326 Y=608)
07:26:59   (first exposure estimate 1.59 sec)
07:27:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:27:04 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:27:04 **Autoguiding failed.
