Licensed to Arne Henden
09:25:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:25:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:25:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:25:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:25:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:25:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:25:59 User actions detected.
09:25:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:25:59 Dome is MaxDome
09:26:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:26:00 Imager is ASCOM
09:26:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:26:00 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250614@092518 UTC
09:26:00 Imager readout modes:
09:26:00   0 is Fast
09:26:00   1 is Normal
09:26:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:26:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:26:00 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:26:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:26:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:26:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:26:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:26:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:26:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:27:07   221 catalog stars found
09:27:08   Solved! 121 stars matched.
09:27:08   Average residual is 0.23 arcsec.
09:27:08   Pointing error is 0.961 arcmin @ angle 172.83
09:27:08   True focal length is 3467.8 mm.
09:27:08   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:27:08   True image center (J2000): 18h 41m 30.1s   -05° 16' 37.91"
09:27:08   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
09:27:08   [sync] pointing model updated
09:27:08   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:27:08   Target is now centered.
09:27:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:27:09   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:27:09   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:27:09   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:27:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:27:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.3743 Y=347
09:27:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:27:27 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:27:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=443.9968 Y=952.0045
09:27:40   (guide star SNR=33.6 X=444 Y=952)
09:27:40   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:27:45 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:27:45 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:27:45 **Autoguiding failed.
