07:30:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:30:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:30:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:30:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:30:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:30:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:30:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:30:35 Dome is MaxDome
07:30:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:30:36 Imager is ASCOM
07:30:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:30:36 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240127@072924 UTC
07:30:36 Imager readout modes:
07:30:36   0 is Fast
07:30:36   1 is Normal
07:30:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:30:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:30:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:30:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:30:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:30:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:30:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:30:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:30:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:30:36 ==== Starting target QX_Pup ====
07:30:36 ACPS Observation QX_Pup(1 of 1)
07:30:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan QX_Pup)
07:30:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:30:36 Pointing updates are enabled
07:30:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:30:36   Start slew to QX_Pup...
07:30:37   (wait for slew to complete)
07:31:13   (slew complete)
07:31:13     [flip check:  Tn=423s HAc=3952s GW=T HAz=4376s DWz=T WF=no]
07:31:13   Updating pointing...
07:31:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:31:13   (using Fast readout mode)
07:31:13   (starting exposure)
07:31:29   (exposure complete)
07:31:32   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:31:34   Image finished
07:31:34   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:31:34   1460 image stars found
07:31:34   601 catalog stars found
07:31:35   Solved! 181 stars matched.
07:31:35   Average residual is 0.23 arcsec.
07:31:35   Pointing error is 4.080 arcmin @ angle 275.87
07:31:35   True focal length is 3467.2 mm.
07:31:35   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:31:35   True image center (J2000): 07h 41m 30.4s   -14° 48' 12.92"
07:31:35   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
07:31:35   [sync] pointing model updated
07:31:35   Re-slew to target.
07:31:35   Start slew to QX_Pup...
07:31:39   (wait for slew to complete)
07:31:49   (slew complete)
07:31:49   Target is now centered.
07:31:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:31:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:31:49   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
07:31:49   Focus change of -20 steps required
07:31:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:32:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=145.9427 Y=149.702
07:32:06   (guide star SNR=42.2 X=145 Y=150)
07:32:06   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:32:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:32:11 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:32:11 **Autoguiding failed.
