09:01:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:01:20 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:01:20   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:01:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:01:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:01:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:01:21 User actions detected.
09:01:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:01:21 Dome is MaxDome
09:01:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:01:21 Imager is ASCOM
09:01:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:01:21 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250623@085937 UTC
09:01:21 Imager readout modes:
09:01:21   0 is Fast
09:01:21   1 is Normal
09:01:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:01:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:01:21 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:01:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:01:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:01:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:01:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:01:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:01:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:02:55   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:02:55   Focus change of 20 steps required
09:02:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:02:57   (using Fast readout mode)

09:03:18   353 image stars found
09:03:18   307 catalog stars found
09:03:19   Solved! 108 stars matched.
09:03:19   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
09:03:19   Pointing error is 0.897 arcmin @ angle 54.27
09:03:19   True focal length is 3464.6 mm.
09:03:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:03:19   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 39.0s   67° 05' 17.22"
09:03:19   Imager sky position angle is 179.5 deg.
09:03:19   [sync] pointing model updated
09:03:19   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:03:19   Target is now centered.
09:03:19   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:03:19   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:03:19   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:03:19   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:03:23   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:03:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:03:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:03:38 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:03:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.954 Y=608.0188
09:03:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:03:52 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:03:52 **Autoguiding failed.
