06:18:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:18:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:18:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:18:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:18:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:18:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:18:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:18:59 Dome is MaxDome
06:18:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:18:59 Imager is ASCOM
06:18:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:18:59 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@061632 UTC
06:18:59 Imager readout modes:
06:18:59   0 is Fast
06:18:59   1 is Normal
06:18:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:18:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:18:59 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:18:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:18:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:19:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:19:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:19:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:19:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

06:19:54   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:19:55   Focus change of -50 steps required
06:19:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:19:57   (using Fast readout mode)
06:19:57   (starting exposure)

06:20:18   Camera temp (deg.C) = -4.9
06:20:20   Focuser position = 3650
06:20:20   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.8
06:20:20   Image finished

06:20:21   325 catalog stars found
06:20:22   Solved! 71 stars matched.
06:20:22   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
06:20:22   Pointing error is 3.548 arcmin @ angle 144.97

06:20:22   Start slew to V1323_Her...
06:20:24   (wait for slew to complete)
06:20:40   (slew complete)
06:20:40   Target is now centered.
06:20:40   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:20:40   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:20:40   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
06:20:40   Focus change of -360 steps required
06:20:44   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:20:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.661 Y=607.8832
06:20:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:20:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:21:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.127 Y=608.1134
06:21:09   (guide star SNR=54.5 X=1326 Y=608)
06:21:10   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
06:21:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:21:14 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:21:14 **Autoguiding failed.
