10:19:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:19:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:19:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:19:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:19:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:19:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:19:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:19:14 Dome is MaxDome
10:19:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:19:14 Imager is ASCOM
10:19:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:19:14 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@101832 UTC
10:19:14 Imager readout modes:
10:19:14   0 is Fast
10:19:14   1 is Normal
10:19:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:19:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:19:14 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:19:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:19:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:19:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:19:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:19:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:19:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:21:34   (wait for slew to complete)
10:21:49   (slew complete)
10:21:49   Target is now centered.
10:21:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:21:49   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:21:49   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:21:49   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:21:53   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:22:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1008.049 Y=200.1199

10:22:31 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
10:22:32   (take guider image at initial interval 1.85 sec)
10:22:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
10:22:37 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:22:37 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:22:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.058 Y=608.0429
10:22:51   (guide star SNR=37.8 X=1326 Y=608)
10:22:51   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:22:56 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:22:57 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:22:57 **Autoguiding failed.
