04:31:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:31:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:31:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:31:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:31:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:31:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:31:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:31:45 Dome is MaxDome
04:31:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:31:45 Imager is ASCOM
04:31:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:31:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250610@042930 UTC
04:31:45 Imager readout modes:
04:31:45   0 is Fast
04:31:45   1 is Normal
04:31:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:31:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:31:45 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:31:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:31:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:31:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:31:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:31:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:31:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:31:52 ACPS Observation M3-V154(1 of 1)
04:31:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver5104, Plan M3-V154)
04:31:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:31:53 Pointing updates are enabled
04:31:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:31:53   Start slew to M3-V154...
04:31:54   (wait for slew to complete)

04:32:15   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
04:32:15   Focus change of 320 steps required
04:32:19   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:32:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.016 Y=607.9592
04:32:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:32:33 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:32:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.963 Y=608.0021
04:32:46   (guide star SNR=77.0 X=1326 Y=608)
04:32:47   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:32:52 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:32:52 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:32:52 **Autoguiding failed.
04:32:52   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
