07:21:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:21:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:21:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:21:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:21:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:21:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:21:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:21:44 Dome is MaxDome
07:21:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:21:44 Imager is ASCOM
07:21:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:21:44 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@071716 UTC
07:21:44 Imager readout modes:
07:21:44   0 is Fast
07:21:44   1 is Normal
07:21:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:21:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:21:44 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:21:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:21:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:21:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:21:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:21:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:21:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:22:55   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:22:55   Focus change of -50 steps required
07:22:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:22:58   (using Fast readout mode)
07:22:58   (starting exposure)

07:23:19   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.2
07:23:21   Focuser position = 3650
07:23:21   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.2
07:23:21   Image finished
07:23:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:23:21   446 image stars found
07:23:22   200 catalog stars found
07:23:23   Solved! 75 stars matched.
07:23:23   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
07:23:23   Pointing error is 2.997 arcmin @ angle 146.15
07:23:23   True focal length is 3461.0 mm.
07:23:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
07:23:23   True image center (J2000): 20h 51m 35.5s   44° 02' 54.53"
07:23:23   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:23:23   [sync] pointing model updated
07:23:23   Re-slew to target.
07:23:23   Start slew to V2492_Cyg...
07:23:25   (wait for slew to complete)
07:23:39   (slew complete)
07:23:39   Target is now centered.
07:23:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:23:39   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:23:39   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
07:23:39   Focus change of -20 steps required
07:23:41   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:23:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.9292 Y=457.2593
07:23:56 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:23:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:24:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.002 Y=608.1434
07:24:10   (guide star SNR=32.8 X=1326 Y=608)
07:24:11   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:24:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:24:16 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:24:16 **Autoguiding failed.
