08:57:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:57:11 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:57:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:57:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:57:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:57:12 User actions detected.
08:57:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:57:12 Dome is MaxDome
08:57:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:57:13 Imager is ASCOM
08:57:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:57:13 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@085439 UTC
08:57:13 Imager readout modes:
08:57:13   0 is Fast
08:57:13   1 is Normal
08:57:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:57:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:57:13 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:57:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:57:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:57:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:57:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:57:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:57:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:58:26   428 catalog stars found
08:58:27   Solved! 153 stars matched.
08:58:27   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.

08:58:27   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
08:58:27   [sync] pointing model updated
08:58:27   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:58:27   Target is now centered.
08:58:27   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:58:27   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:58:27   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
08:58:27   Focus change of -20 steps required
08:58:30   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:58:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1152.062 Y=617.9123

08:59:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
08:59:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:59:14 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:59:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=444.0402 Y=951.9877

08:59:28   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:59:33 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:59:33 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:59:33 **Autoguiding failed.
