Licensed to Arne Henden
05:43:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:43:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:43:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:43:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:43:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:43:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:43:05 User actions detected.
05:43:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:43:05 Dome is MaxDome
05:43:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:43:05 Imager is ASCOM
05:43:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:43:05 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@054228 UTC
05:43:05 Imager readout modes:
05:43:05   0 is Fast
05:43:05   1 is Normal
05:43:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:43:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:43:05 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:43:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:43:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:43:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:43:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:43:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:43:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:43:59   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:43:59   Focus change of -50 steps required
05:44:02   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:44:02   (using Fast readout mode)

05:44:27   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:44:28   463 image stars found
05:44:28   193 catalog stars found
05:44:29   Solved! 76 stars matched.
05:44:29   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
05:44:29   Pointing error is 1.528 arcmin @ angle 147.11
05:44:29   True focal length is 3469.6 mm.
05:44:29   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:44:29   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 21.0s   -02° 30' 46.57"
05:44:29   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
05:44:29   [sync] pointing model updated
05:44:29   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:44:29   Target is now centered.
05:44:29   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:44:29   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:44:29   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
05:44:29   Focus change of 320 steps required
05:44:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:44:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.0028 Y=347
05:44:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:44:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:45:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.016 Y=608.0005
05:45:00   (guide star SNR=33.4 X=1326 Y=608)
05:45:00   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:45:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:45:05 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:45:05 **Autoguiding failed.
