10:14:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:14:39 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:14:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:14:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:14:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:14:40 User actions detected.
10:14:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:14:40 Dome is MaxDome
10:14:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:14:40 Imager is ASCOM
10:14:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:14:40 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@101403 UTC
10:14:40 Imager readout modes:
10:14:40   0 is Fast
10:14:40   1 is Normal
10:14:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:14:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:14:40 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:14:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:14:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:14:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:14:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:14:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:14:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:16:08   [sync] pointing model updated
10:16:08   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:16:08   Target is now centered.

10:16:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=444.6506 Y=952.3126
10:16:26 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:16:26 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:16:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=444.0707 Y=952.2687
10:16:39   (guide star SNR=35.5 X=444 Y=952)
10:16:39   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:16:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:16:44 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:16:44 **Autoguiding failed.
