09:55:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:55:00 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:55:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:55:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:55:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:55:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:55:01 Dome is MaxDome
09:55:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:55:02 Imager is ASCOM
09:55:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:55:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@095429 UTC
09:55:02 Imager readout modes:
09:55:02   0 is Fast
09:55:02   1 is Normal
09:55:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:55:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:55:02 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:55:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:55:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:55:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:55:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:55:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:55:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:56:34   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:56:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.613 Y=608.0945
09:56:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:56:48 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:57:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1327.302 Y=610.6916
09:57:02   (guide star SNR=23.9 X=1326 Y=608)
09:57:02   (first exposure estimate 1.25 sec)
09:57:07 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:57:07 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:57:07 **Autoguiding failed.
