07:39:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:39:01 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:39:01   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:39:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:39:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:39:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:39:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:39:03 Dome is MaxDome
07:39:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:39:03 Imager is ASCOM
07:39:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:39:03 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@073821 UTC
07:39:03 Imager readout modes:
07:39:03   0 is Fast
07:39:03   1 is Normal
07:39:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:39:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:39:03 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:39:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:39:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:39:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:39:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:39:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:39:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:39:47   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:39:47   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:39:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:39:51   (using Fast readout mode)
07:39:51   (starting exposure)
07:40:13   (exposure complete)
07:40:16   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:40:16   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.2
07:40:18   Focuser position = 3650
07:40:18   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.9
07:40:18   Image finished
07:40:18   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:40:19   1385 image stars found
07:40:19   357 catalog stars found
07:40:20   Solved! 115 stars matched.
07:40:20   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
07:40:20   Pointing error is 3.177 arcmin @ angle 141.68
07:40:20   True focal length is 3464.3 mm.
07:40:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:40:20   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 44.6s   30° 08' 34.66"
07:40:20   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:40:20   [sync] pointing model updated
07:40:20   Re-slew to target.
07:40:20   Start slew to M56_V6...
07:40:24   (wait for slew to complete)
07:40:38   (slew complete)
07:40:38   Target is now centered.
07:40:38   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:40:38   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:40:38   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
07:40:38   Focus change of 320 steps required
07:40:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:40:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=365.0158 Y=705.1759
07:40:56 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:40:56 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:41:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.061 Y=607.9278
07:41:09   (guide star SNR=23.5 X=1326 Y=608)
07:41:10   (first exposure estimate 1.28 sec)
07:41:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:41:15 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:41:15 **Autoguiding failed.
