06:55:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:55:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:55:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:55:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:55:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:55:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:55:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:55:04 Dome is MaxDome
06:55:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:55:04 Imager is ASCOM
06:55:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:55:04 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@065125 UTC
06:55:04 Imager readout modes:
06:55:04   0 is Fast
06:55:04   1 is Normal
06:55:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:55:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:55:04 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:55:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:55:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:55:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:55:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:55:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:55:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:56:25   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:56:25   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:56:28   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:56:28   (using Fast readout mode)
06:56:28   (starting exposure)

06:56:49   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.5
06:56:51   Focuser position = 3650
06:56:51   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23
06:56:51   Image finished
06:56:51   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:56:52   129 image stars found
06:56:52   113 catalog stars found
06:56:53   Solved! 11 stars matched.
06:56:53   Average residual is 0.47 arcsec.
06:56:53   Pointing error is 2.394 arcmin @ angle 145.55
06:56:53   True focal length is 3483.5 mm.
06:56:53   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

06:56:53   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
06:56:53   [sync] pointing model updated
06:56:53   Re-slew to target.
06:56:53   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
06:56:56   (wait for slew to complete)
06:57:11   (slew complete)
06:57:11   Target is now centered.
06:57:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:57:11   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:57:11   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:57:11   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:57:15   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:57:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.002 Y=945.1623
06:57:29 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:57:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:57:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.835 Y=607.9995
06:57:43   (guide star SNR=36.7 X=1326 Y=608)
06:57:44   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:57:48 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:57:49 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:57:49 **Autoguiding failed.
