08:30:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:30:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:30:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:30:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:30:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:30:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:30:43 User actions detected.
08:30:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:30:43 Dome is MaxDome
08:30:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:30:44 Imager is ASCOM
08:30:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:30:44 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@082939 UTC
08:30:44 Imager readout modes:
08:30:44   0 is Fast
08:30:44   1 is Normal
08:30:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:30:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:30:44 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:30:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:30:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:30:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:30:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:30:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:30:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:30:51 ==== Starting target NGC_6656 ====
08:30:51 ACPS Observation NGC_6656(1 of 1)
08:30:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_Welch_AUTO_ver5271, Plan NGC_6656)
08:30:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:30:52 Pointing updates are enabled
08:30:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:30:52   Start slew to NGC_6656...
08:30:53   (wait for slew to complete)
08:31:07   (slew complete)
08:31:07   Calling TargetStart user action.
08:31:07 Project Priority is: undefined
08:31:07   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
08:31:07     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=1077s GW=T HAz=1497s DWz=T WF=no]
08:31:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:31:07   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:31:07   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:31:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.989 Y=608.0897
08:31:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:31:16 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:31:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=444.137 Y=952.075
08:31:29   (guide star SNR=70.2 X=444 Y=952)
08:31:29   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:31:34 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:31:34 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:31:34 **Autoguiding failed.
