08:08:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:08:29 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:08:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:08:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:08:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:08:30 User actions detected.
08:08:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:08:30 Dome is MaxDome
08:08:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:08:30 Imager is ASCOM
08:08:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:08:30 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250614@074719 UTC
08:08:30 Imager readout modes:
08:08:30   0 is Fast
08:08:30   1 is Normal
08:08:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:08:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:08:30 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:08:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:08:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:08:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:08:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:08:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:08:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:09:25   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:09:25   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:09:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)

08:09:48   1005 image stars found
08:09:48   145 catalog stars found
08:09:49   Solved! 91 stars matched.
08:09:49   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
08:09:49   Pointing error is 1.178 arcmin @ angle 203.64
08:09:49   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
08:09:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:09:49   True image center (J2000): 17h 48m 02.7s   -24° 47' 49.77"
08:09:49   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
08:09:49   [sync] pointing model updated
08:09:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:09:49   Target is now centered.
08:09:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:09:49   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:09:49   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
08:09:49   Focus change of 50 steps required
08:09:52   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:10:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.579 Y=608.1321
08:10:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:10:01 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:10:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.019 Y=608.0103
08:10:15   (guide star SNR=32.4 X=1326 Y=608)
08:10:15   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:10:20 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:10:20 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:10:20 **Autoguiding failed.
