Licensed to Arne Henden
07:17:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:17:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:17:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:17:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:17:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:17:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:17:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:17:54 Dome is MaxDome
07:17:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:17:54 Imager is ASCOM
07:17:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:17:54 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@071716 UTC
07:17:54 Imager readout modes:
07:17:54   0 is Fast
07:17:54   1 is Normal
07:17:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:17:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:17:54 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:17:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:17:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:18:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:18:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:18:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:18:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:18:01 ==== Starting target NGC_6553 ====
07:18:01 ACPS Observation NGC_6553(1 of 1)
07:18:01   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6553)
07:18:01   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:18:02 Pointing updates are enabled
07:18:02 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:18:02   Start slew to NGC_6553...
07:18:03   (wait for slew to complete)
07:18:19   (slew complete)
07:18:19   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

07:18:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:18:19   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:18:19   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:18:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.784 Y=607.9998
07:18:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:18:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:18:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=462.6421 Y=927.7782
07:18:41   (guide star SNR=6.8 X=467 Y=922)
07:18:41   (first exposure estimate 4.39 sec)
07:18:49   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=468 Y=921)
07:18:50   (final exposure for guiding 3.86 sec)
07:18:57   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=468 Y=921)
07:20:03 **Guider waited for 19.3 sec and never got a measurement

07:20:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=94.98138 Y=530.0374
07:20:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:20:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:20:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.075 Y=608.0091
07:20:25   (guide star SNR=33.1 X=1326 Y=608)
07:20:26   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:20:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:20:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:20:31 **Autoguiding failed.
