07:44:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:44:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:44:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:44:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:44:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:44:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:44:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:44:52 Dome is MaxDome
07:44:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:44:52 Imager is ASCOM
07:44:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:44:52 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250610@074422 UTC
07:44:52 Imager readout modes:
07:44:52   0 is Fast
07:44:52   1 is Normal
07:44:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:44:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:44:52 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:44:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:44:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:45:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:45:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:45:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:45:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:46:03   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:46:03   Focus change of -270 steps required
07:46:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:46:06   (using Fast readout mode)
07:46:06   (starting exposure)

07:46:31   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.6
07:46:32   Focuser position = 3650
07:46:32   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.7
07:46:32   Image finished
07:46:32   Plate-solve pointing image.

07:46:33   775 catalog stars found
07:46:34   Solved! 112 stars matched.
07:46:34   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
07:46:34   Pointing error is 2.988 arcmin @ angle 141.63
07:46:34   True focal length is 3457.2 mm.

07:46:34   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:46:34   [sync] pointing model updated
07:46:34   Re-slew to target.
07:46:34   Start slew to V407_Cyg...
07:46:38   (wait for slew to complete)
07:46:53   (slew complete)
07:46:53   Target is now centered.
07:46:53   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:46:53   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:46:53   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
07:46:53   Focus change of -20 steps required
07:46:56   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:47:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1039.226 Y=100.2387
07:47:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:47:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:47:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=444.0385 Y=951.985
07:47:24   (guide star SNR=38.2 X=444 Y=952)
07:47:25   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:47:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:47:30 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:47:30 **Autoguiding failed.
