10:49:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:49:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:49:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:49:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:49:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:49:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:49:46 User actions detected.
10:49:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:49:46 Dome is MaxDome
10:49:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:49:46 Imager is ASCOM
10:49:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:49:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230228@102331 UTC
10:49:46 Imager readout modes:
10:49:46   0 is Fast
10:49:46   1 is Normal
10:49:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:49:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:49:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:49:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:49:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:49:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:49:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:49:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:49:46 ACPS Observation V1674_Her(1 of 1)
10:49:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P245_CWT_AUTO_ver2745, Plan V1674_Her)
10:49:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:49:46 Pointing updates are enabled
10:49:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:49:46   Start slew to V1674_Her...
10:49:48   (wait for slew to complete)
10:50:58   (slew complete)

10:50:58   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:50:58   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:51:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:51:01   (using Fast readout mode)
10:51:01   (starting exposure)
10:51:26   (exposure complete)
10:51:28   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:51:29   Image finished
10:51:29   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:51:30   2513 image stars found
10:51:31   366 catalog stars found
10:51:32   Solved! 157 stars matched.
10:51:32   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
10:51:32   Pointing error is 1.014 arcmin @ angle 308.25
10:51:32   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
10:51:32   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:51:32   True image center (J2000): 18h 57m 27.7s   16° 54' 17.26"
10:51:32   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:51:32   [sync] pointing model updated
10:51:32   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:51:32   Target is now centered.
10:51:32   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:51:32   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:51:32   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:51:32   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:51:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:51:50   (guide star SNR=5.5 X=900 Y=297)
10:51:51   (first exposure estimate 2.75 sec)
10:51:57   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=895 Y=292)
10:51:57   (final exposure for guiding 2.5 sec)
10:52:03 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:52:04 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
10:52:05   (take guider image at initial interval 2.5 sec)
10:52:11   (guide star SNR=2.7 X=874 Y=277)
10:52:12   (first exposure estimate 2.76 sec)
10:52:18 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:52:18 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:52:18 **Autoguiding failed.
