12:07:55 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:07:55 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:07:55   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:07:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:07:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:07:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:07:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:07:57 Dome is MaxDome
12:07:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:07:57 Imager is ASCOM
12:07:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:07:57 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@120228 UTC
12:07:57 Imager readout modes:
12:07:57   0 is Fast
12:07:57   1 is Normal
12:07:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:07:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:07:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:07:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:07:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:07:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:07:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:07:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:07:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:07:57 ==== Starting target V0406_Vul ====
12:07:57 ACPS Observation V0406_Vul(1 of 1)
12:07:57   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P194_BPEC_AUTO_ver2706, Plan V0406_Vul)
12:07:57   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:07:57 Pointing updates are enabled
12:07:57 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:07:57   Start slew to V0406_Vul...
12:07:59   (wait for slew to complete)
12:08:18   (slew complete)
12:08:18     [flip check:  Tn=510s HAc=-15962s GW=T HAz=-15452s DWz=T WF=no]
12:08:18   Updating pointing...
12:08:18   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:08:18   Focus change of -290 steps required
12:08:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:08:22   (using Fast readout mode)
12:08:22   (starting exposure)
12:08:47   (exposure complete)
12:08:49   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:08:51   Image finished
12:08:51   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:08:51   1522 image stars found
12:08:51   332 catalog stars found
12:08:53   Solved! 94 stars matched.
12:08:53   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
12:08:53   Pointing error is 0.785 arcmin @ angle 288.92
12:08:53   True focal length is 3464.6 mm.
12:08:53   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:08:53   True image center (J2000): 18h 58m 38.3s   22° 39' 45.47"
12:08:53   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
12:08:53   [sync] pointing model updated
12:08:53   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:08:53   Target is now centered.
12:08:53   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:08:53   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:08:53   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
12:08:53   Focus change of -360 steps required
12:08:56   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:09:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=571.2337 Y=637.6826
12:09:08   (guide star SNR=36.8 X=571 Y=638)
12:09:09   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
12:09:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
12:09:14 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
12:09:14 **Autoguiding failed.
