06:03:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:03:01 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:03:01   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:03:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:03:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:03:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:03:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:03:03 Dome is MaxDome
06:03:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:03:03 Imager is ASCOM
06:03:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:03:03 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@060126 UTC
06:03:03 Imager readout modes:
06:03:03   0 is Fast
06:03:03   1 is Normal
06:03:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:03:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:03:03 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:03:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:03:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:03:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:03:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:03:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:03:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:04:12   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:04:12   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:04:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:04:14   (using Fast readout mode)
06:04:14   (starting exposure)

06:04:36   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.3
06:04:38   Focuser position = 3331
06:04:38   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.7
06:04:38   Image finished
06:04:38   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:04:38   573 image stars found
06:04:39   200 catalog stars found
06:04:40   Solved! 100 stars matched.
06:04:40   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
06:04:40   Pointing error is 2.397 arcmin @ angle 68.52
06:04:40   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
06:04:40   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:04:40   True image center (J2000): 20h 51m 38.7s   44° 06' 16.54"
06:04:40   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:04:40   [sync] pointing model updated
06:04:40   Re-slew to target.
06:04:40   Start slew to V2492_Cyg...
06:04:43   (wait for slew to complete)
06:04:57   (slew complete)
06:04:57   Target is now centered.
06:04:57   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:04:57   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:04:57   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
06:04:57   Focus change of -20 steps required
06:05:00   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:05:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=365.0351 Y=705.0693
06:05:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:05:15 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:05:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.016 Y=608.3069
06:05:28   (guide star SNR=28.0 X=1326 Y=608)
06:05:29   (first exposure estimate 1.07 sec)
06:05:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:05:33 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:05:33 **Autoguiding failed.
