07:15:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:15:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:15:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:15:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:15:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:15:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:15:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:15:52 Dome is MaxDome
07:15:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:15:52 Imager is ASCOM
07:15:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:15:52 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@071445 UTC
07:15:52 Imager readout modes:
07:15:52   0 is Fast
07:15:52   1 is Normal
07:15:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:15:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:15:52 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:15:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:15:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:16:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:16:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:16:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:16:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:16:27   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:16:27   Focus change of -50 steps required
07:16:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:16:30   (using Fast readout mode)
07:16:30   (starting exposure)

07:16:56   Start slew to NGC_6626...
07:16:58   (wait for slew to complete)
07:17:13   (slew complete)
07:17:13   Target is now centered.
07:17:13   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:17:13   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:17:13   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
07:17:13   Focus change of 50 steps required
07:17:16   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:17:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.5105 Y=457.0598
07:17:26 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:17:26 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:17:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.137 Y=608.0189
07:17:40   (guide star SNR=18.8 X=1326 Y=608)
07:17:40   (first exposure estimate 1.59 sec)
07:17:45 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:17:45 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:17:45 **Autoguiding failed.
