08:50:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:50:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:50:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:50:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:50:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:50:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:50:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:50:28 Dome is MaxDome
08:50:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:50:28 Imager is ASCOM
08:50:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:50:28 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@084515 UTC
08:50:28 Imager readout modes:
08:50:28   0 is Fast
08:50:28   1 is Normal
08:50:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:50:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:50:28 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:50:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:50:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:50:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:50:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:50:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:50:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:51:07   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:51:07   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:51:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:51:11   (using Fast readout mode)
08:51:11   (starting exposure)

08:51:37   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.4
08:51:38   Focuser position = 3342
08:51:38   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.4
08:51:38   Image finished
08:51:38   Plate-solve pointing image.

08:51:39   357 catalog stars found
08:51:40   Solved! 150 stars matched.
08:51:40   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
08:51:40   Pointing error is 2.884 arcmin @ angle 144.01
08:51:40   True focal length is 3467.3 mm.
08:51:40   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

08:51:40   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
08:51:40   [sync] pointing model updated
08:51:40   Re-slew to target.
08:51:40   Start slew to NSV_11749...
08:51:44   (wait for slew to complete)
08:51:58   (slew complete)
08:51:58   Target is now centered.
08:51:58   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:51:58   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:51:58   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
08:51:58   Focus change of 320 steps required
08:52:02   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:52:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=365.4858 Y=704.9564
08:52:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:52:16 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:52:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.958 Y=608.0505
08:52:29   (guide star SNR=28.3 X=1326 Y=608)
08:52:30   (first exposure estimate 1.06 sec)
08:52:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:52:35 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:52:35 **Autoguiding failed.
