08:13:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:13:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:13:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:13:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:13:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:13:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:13:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:13:03 Dome is MaxDome
08:13:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:13:04 Imager is ASCOM
08:13:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:13:04 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250610@081226 UTC
08:13:04 Imager readout modes:
08:13:04   0 is Fast
08:13:04   1 is Normal
08:13:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:13:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:13:04 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:13:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:13:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:13:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:13:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:13:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:13:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:14:14   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:14:14   Focus change of -50 steps required
08:14:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:14:17   (using Fast readout mode)
08:14:17   (starting exposure)
08:14:36   (exposure complete)
08:14:39   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:14:39   Camera temp (deg.C) = -8
08:14:40   Focuser position = 3342
08:14:40   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.4
08:14:40   Image finished
08:14:40   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:14:41   227 image stars found
08:14:41   193 catalog stars found
08:14:42   Solved! 58 stars matched.
08:14:42   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
08:14:42   Pointing error is 2.418 arcmin @ angle 153.85
08:14:42   True focal length is 3466.9 mm.
08:14:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:14:42   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 21.9s   -02° 31' 39.83"
08:14:42   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
08:14:42   [sync] pointing model updated
08:14:42   Re-slew to target.
08:14:42   Start slew to X_Ser...
08:14:43   (wait for slew to complete)
08:14:58   (slew complete)
08:14:58   Target is now centered.
08:14:58   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:14:58   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:14:58   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:14:58   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:15:01   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:15:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.574 Y=608.1652
08:15:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:15:16 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:15:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.028 Y=608.0584
08:15:30   (guide star SNR=24.8 X=1326 Y=608)
08:15:30   (first exposure estimate 1.21 sec)
08:15:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:15:35 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:15:35 **Autoguiding failed.
