04:18:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:18:20 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:18:20   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:18:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:18:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:18:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:18:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:18:21 Dome is MaxDome
04:18:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:18:21 Imager is ASCOM
04:18:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:18:21 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250610@041029 UTC
04:18:21 Imager readout modes:
04:18:21   0 is Fast
04:18:21   1 is Normal
04:18:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:18:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:18:21 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:18:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:18:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:18:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:18:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:18:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:18:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:20:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:20:06   (using Fast readout mode)

04:20:22   Camera temp (deg.C) = -0.6
04:20:23   Focuser position = 3650
04:20:23   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 27
04:20:23   Image finished
04:20:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:20:24   506 image stars found
04:20:24   331 catalog stars found
04:20:32   Solved! 49 stars matched.
04:20:32   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
04:20:32   Pointing error is 11.115 arcmin @ angle 307.81
04:20:32   True focal length is 3456.7 mm.
04:20:32   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89

04:20:32   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
04:20:49   [sync] pointing model updated
04:20:50   Re-slew to target.
04:20:50   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
04:20:51   (wait for slew to complete)
04:21:06   (slew complete)
04:21:06   Target is now centered.
04:21:06   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:21:06   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:21:06   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
04:21:06   Focus change of 50 steps required
04:21:09   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:21:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.809 Y=608.0007
04:21:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:21:19 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:21:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.953 Y=608.0016
04:21:33   (guide star SNR=47.2 X=1326 Y=608)
04:21:33   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:21:38 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:21:38 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:21:38 **Autoguiding failed.
