08:25:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:25:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:25:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:25:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:25:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:25:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:25:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:25:14 Dome is MaxDome
08:25:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:25:15 Imager is ASCOM
08:25:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:25:15 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@082446 UTC
08:25:15 Imager readout modes:
08:25:15   0 is Fast
08:25:15   1 is Normal
08:25:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:25:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:25:15 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:25:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:25:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:25:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:25:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:25:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:25:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:26:25   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:26:25   Focus change of -320 steps required
08:26:29   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:26:29   (using Fast readout mode)
08:26:29   (starting exposure)

08:26:56   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.4
08:26:56   Image finished
08:26:56   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:26:57   365 image stars found
08:26:57   238 catalog stars found
08:26:59   Solved! 81 stars matched.
08:26:59   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
08:26:59   Pointing error is 2.086 arcmin @ angle 133.27
08:26:59   True focal length is 3467.2 mm.

08:26:59   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:26:59   [sync] pointing model updated
08:26:59   Re-slew to target.

08:27:00   (wait for slew to complete)
08:27:15   (slew complete)
08:27:15   Target is now centered.
08:27:15   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:27:15   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:27:15   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
08:27:15   Focus change of 320 steps required
08:27:19   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:27:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.5406 Y=459.0073
08:27:32 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:27:32 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:27:45   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.05 Y=608.0363
08:27:46   (guide star SNR=38.7 X=1326 Y=608)
08:27:46   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:27:51 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:27:51 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:27:51 **Autoguiding failed.
