Licensed to Arne Henden
07:35:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:35:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:35:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:35:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:35:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:35:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:35:16 User actions detected.
07:35:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:35:16 Dome is MaxDome
07:35:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:35:17 Imager is ASCOM
07:35:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:35:17 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@072951 UTC
07:35:17 Imager readout modes:
07:35:17   0 is Fast
07:35:17   1 is Normal
07:35:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:35:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:35:17 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:35:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:35:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:35:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:35:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:35:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:35:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:35:24 ==== Starting target NGC_6638 ====
07:35:24 ACPS Observation NGC_6638(1 of 1)
07:35:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_Welch_AUTO_ver5271, Plan NGC_6638)
07:35:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:35:25 Pointing updates are enabled
07:35:25 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:35:25   Start slew to NGC_6638...
07:35:26   (wait for slew to complete)
07:35:45   (slew complete)
07:35:45   Calling TargetStart user action.
07:35:45 Project Priority is: undefined
07:35:45   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
07:35:45     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-1928s GW=T HAz=-1508s DWz=T WF=no]
07:35:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:35:46   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:35:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:35:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1051.972 Y=358.9452
07:35:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:35:54 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:36:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.995 Y=608.0128
07:36:07   (guide star SNR=50.5 X=1326 Y=608)
07:36:08   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:36:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:36:12 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:36:12 **Autoguiding failed.
