Licensed to Arne Henden
09:21:59 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:21:59 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:21:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:22:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:22:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:22:01 User actions detected.
09:22:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:22:01 Dome is MaxDome
09:22:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:22:01 Imager is ASCOM
09:22:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:22:01 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20250629@091647 UTC
09:22:01 Imager readout modes:
09:22:01   0 is Fast
09:22:01   1 is Normal
09:22:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:22:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:22:01 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:22:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:22:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:22:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:22:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:22:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:22:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:23:06   Switching from SZ to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:23:06   Focus change of 50 steps required
09:23:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:23:09   (using Fast readout mode)

09:23:30   307 catalog stars found
09:23:31   Solved! 123 stars matched.
09:23:31   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
09:23:31   Pointing error is 1.348 arcmin @ angle 117.80
09:23:31   True focal length is 3467.1 mm.
09:23:31   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:23:31   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 43.7s   67° 04' 08.04"
09:23:31   Imager sky position angle is 179.5 deg.
09:23:31   [sync] pointing model updated
09:23:31   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:23:31   Target is now centered.
09:23:31   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:23:31   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:23:31   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:23:31   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:23:35   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:23:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:23:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:23:49 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:24:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.01 Y=608.1144
09:24:02   (guide star SNR=32.3 X=1326 Y=608)
09:24:02   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:24:07 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:24:07 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:24:07 **Autoguiding failed.
