I found a = problem in the code that I think would prevent it from applying that condit= ion. I'll need to check it a bit more to be sure, but if so I'll up= date HAL for tonight.Thanks,Jos=C3=A9 On Mar 7, 2023 at 18:54:42, Danie= l Oravetz wrote: =20 > (3) The 'acquire' stage failed a= t one point having exhausted the max> iterations:>> 04:24:42 hal.hal 6890 cherno f erro= r=3D"Guider failed: Maximum number of> iterations reached.">> Jose, I thoug= ht you had fixed this about a month or so ago so that once= > the max iterations are reached it's supp= osed to just go on to 'guide'> mode instead of quitting?

I remember there is a rms limit that determines whether the gotoFi= eld sequence fails or goto guidi= ng stage when the max number of iterations reaches.Good question.Looks like gu= ide_rms was 2.385" and then 1.74" in the two exposures before= the "Maximum number of iterations reached." message:2023-= 03-07 04:23:45,653Z < 1 2648 i guide_rms=3D88,2.287,0.679,2.3852023-= 03-07 04:24:31,767Z < 1 2648 i guide_rms=3D89,1.507,0.87,1.74I t= hought the initial threshold for acquire changing to guide aftermax_ite= rations was for the condition that guide_rms < 3", but maybe thathas changed since last month?____________________________________= ________________________Logs of Nightly APO Activities https://urldefense.c= om/v3/__https://trac.sdss.org/tracmailman/browser/private/sloan-25mlog/inde= x.html__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!m5-pR5KvgDj-jNxDkIDJyg0zXkZeRh_uu5vS8WvVBM9bjXdXwTHG= E2H8FhVCFSUwMXTWpvSl1SduBiaSHqUeHA$ --000000000000ad54f905f66385a4--
