Licensed to Arne Henden
10:06:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:06:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:06:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:06:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:06:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:06:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:06:49 User actions detected.
10:06:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:06:49 Dome is MaxDome
10:06:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:06:49 Imager is ASCOM
10:06:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:06:49 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250614@100616 UTC
10:06:49 Imager readout modes:
10:06:49   0 is Fast
10:06:49   1 is Normal
10:06:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:06:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:06:49 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:06:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:06:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:06:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:06:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:06:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:06:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:09:08   357 catalog stars found
10:09:09   Solved! 161 stars matched.
10:09:09   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
10:09:09   Pointing error is 1.462 arcmin @ angle 125.02
10:09:09   True focal length is 3467.8 mm.
10:09:09   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

10:09:09   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:09:09   [sync] pointing model updated
10:09:09   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:09:09   Target is now centered.
10:09:09   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:09:09   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:09:09   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging

10:09:13   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:09:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.571 Y=608.0939
10:09:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:09:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:09:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.93 Y=608.0403
10:09:41   (guide star SNR=24.6 X=1326 Y=608)
10:09:41   (first exposure estimate 1.22 sec)
10:09:46 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:09:46 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:09:46 **Autoguiding failed.
