Licensed to Arne Henden
07:20:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:20:37 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:20:37   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:20:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:20:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:20:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:20:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:20:39 Dome is MaxDome
07:20:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:20:39 Imager is ASCOM
07:20:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:20:39 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@071716 UTC
07:20:39 Imager readout modes:
07:20:39   0 is Fast
07:20:39   1 is Normal
07:20:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:20:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:20:39 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:20:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:20:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:20:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:20:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:20:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:20:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:20:46 ==== Starting target NGC_6638 ====
07:20:46 ACPS Observation NGC_6638(1 of 1)
07:20:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan NGC_6638)
07:20:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:20:47 Pointing updates are enabled
07:20:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:20:47   Start slew to NGC_6638...
07:20:48   (wait for slew to complete)
07:21:08   (slew complete)
07:21:08   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
07:21:08     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-3754s GW=T HAz=-3334s DWz=T WF=no]
07:21:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:21:08   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:21:08   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:21:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.881 Y=607.9767
07:21:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:21:17 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:21:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.067 Y=608.0241
07:21:30   (guide star SNR=41.8 X=1326 Y=608)
07:21:31   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:21:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:21:36 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:21:36 **Autoguiding failed.
