08:52:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:52:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:52:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:52:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:52:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:52:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:52:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:52:43 Dome is MaxDome
08:52:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:52:43 Imager is ASCOM
08:52:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:52:43 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@085202 UTC
08:52:43 Imager readout modes:
08:52:43   0 is Fast
08:52:43   1 is Normal
08:52:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:52:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:52:43 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:52:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:52:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:52:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:52:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:52:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:52:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:53:38   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:53:38   Focus change of -320 steps required
08:53:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:53:42   (using Fast readout mode)
08:53:42   (starting exposure)
08:54:06   (exposure complete)
08:54:08   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:54:08   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.4
08:54:10   Focuser position = 3342
08:54:10   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.4
08:54:10   Image finished
08:54:10   Plate-solve pointing image.

08:54:11   407 catalog stars found
08:54:12   Solved! 149 stars matched.
08:54:12   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
08:54:12   Pointing error is 2.922 arcmin @ angle 146.68
08:54:12   True focal length is 3467.1 mm.
08:54:12   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:54:12   True image center (J2000): 20h 12m 54.6s   47° 21' 14.88"
08:54:12   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
08:54:12   [sync] pointing model updated
08:54:12   Re-slew to target.
08:54:12   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
08:54:14   (wait for slew to complete)
08:54:29   (slew complete)
08:54:29   Target is now centered.
08:54:29   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:54:29   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:54:29   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
08:54:29   Focus change of -20 steps required
08:54:32   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:54:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.632 Y=608.2314
08:54:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:54:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:55:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.202 Y=608.0356
08:55:00   (guide star SNR=24.2 X=1326 Y=608)
08:55:01   (first exposure estimate 1.24 sec)
08:55:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:55:06 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:55:06 **Autoguiding failed.
