This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
12:52:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:52:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:52:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:52:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:52:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:52:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:52:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:52:53 Dome is MaxDome
12:52:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:52:53 Imager is ASCOM
12:52:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:52:53 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240214@124707 UTC
12:52:53 Imager readout modes:
12:52:53   0 is Fast
12:52:53   1 is Normal
12:52:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:52:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:52:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:52:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:52:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:52:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:52:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:52:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:52:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:52:53 ==== Starting target V884_Her ====
12:52:53 ACPS Observation V884_Her(1 of 1)
12:52:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V884_Her)
12:52:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:52:53 Pointing updates are enabled
12:52:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:52:53   Start slew to V884_Her...
12:52:55   (wait for slew to complete)
12:54:00   (slew complete)
12:54:00     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-9584s GW=T HAz=-9164s DWz=T WF=no]
12:54:00   Updating pointing...
12:54:00   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:54:00   (using Fast readout mode)
12:54:00   (starting exposure)
12:59:35 **Pointing update error from MaxIm.CCDCamera:
    **Exposure failed after being successfully started
12:59:35   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:59:35   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
12:59:35   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
12:59:35   Focus change of 290 steps required
12:59:39   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:59:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
12:59:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
12:59:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
13:00:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
13:00:04 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
13:00:04 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
13:00:04 **Autoguiding failed.
13:00:04   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
13:00:04 **Scheduler failed to catch dawn-crossing Observation
13:00:04 **Stopping now for astronomical dawn
