Licensed to Arne Henden
05:18:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:18:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:18:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:18:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:18:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:18:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:18:46 User actions detected.
05:18:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:18:46 Dome is MaxDome
05:18:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:18:47 Imager is ASCOM
05:18:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:18:47 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250614@051358 UTC
05:18:47 Imager readout modes:
05:18:47   0 is Fast
05:18:47   1 is Normal
05:18:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:18:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:18:47 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:18:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:18:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:18:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:18:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:18:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:18:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:20:20   434 image stars found
05:20:20   307 catalog stars found
05:20:21   Solved! 119 stars matched.
05:20:21   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
05:20:21   Pointing error is 1.359 arcmin @ angle 166.95
05:20:21   True focal length is 3468.4 mm.
05:20:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:20:21   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 34.6s   67° 03' 26.38"
05:20:21   Imager sky position angle is 179.4 deg.
05:20:21   [sync] pointing model updated
05:20:21   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:20:21   Target is now centered.
05:20:21   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:20:21   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:20:21   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:20:21   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:20:25   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:20:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.016 Y=608.0097
05:20:39   (guide star SNR=10.6 X=1326 Y=608)
05:20:39   (first exposure estimate 1.42 sec)
05:20:44 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:20:44 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:20:44 **Autoguiding failed.
