Licensed to Arne Henden
07:55:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:55:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:55:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:55:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:55:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:55:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:55:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:55:11 Dome is MaxDome
07:55:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:55:11 Imager is ASCOM
07:55:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:55:11 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@075144 UTC
07:55:11 Imager readout modes:
07:55:11   0 is Fast
07:55:11   1 is Normal
07:55:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:55:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:55:11 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:55:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:55:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:55:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:55:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:55:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:55:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:55:55   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:55:55   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:55:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:55:59   (using Fast readout mode)
07:55:59   (starting exposure)
07:56:23   (exposure complete)
07:56:26   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:56:26   Camera temp (deg.C) = -8.2
07:56:27   Focuser position = 3650
07:56:27   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.4
07:56:27   Image finished
07:56:27   Plate-solve pointing image.

07:56:28   254 catalog stars found
07:56:29   Solved! 59 stars matched.
07:56:29   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
07:56:29   Pointing error is 3.266 arcmin @ angle 127.71
07:56:29   True focal length is 3466.9 mm.
07:56:29   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:56:29   True image center (J2000): 21h 33m 37.4s   -00° 51' 23.55"
07:56:29   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:56:29   [sync] pointing model updated
07:56:29   Re-slew to target.
07:56:29   Start slew to NGC_7089...
07:56:32   (wait for slew to complete)
07:56:47   (slew complete)
07:56:47   Target is now centered.
07:56:47   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:56:47   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:56:47   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
07:56:47   Focus change of 50 steps required
07:56:50   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:56:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=443.8715 Y=952.0179
07:57:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:57:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:57:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.955 Y=608.1047
07:57:14   (guide star SNR=23.3 X=1326 Y=608)
07:57:14   (first exposure estimate 1.29 sec)
07:57:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:57:19 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:57:19 **Autoguiding failed.
