11:09:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:09:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:09:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:09:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:09:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:09:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:09:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:09:59 Dome is MaxDome
11:09:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:09:59 Imager is ASCOM
11:09:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:09:59 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@110412 UTC
11:09:59 Imager readout modes:
11:09:59   0 is Fast
11:09:59   1 is Normal
11:09:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:09:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:09:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:09:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:09:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:09:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:09:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:09:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:09:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:09:59 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
11:09:59 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
11:09:59   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
11:09:59   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:10:00 Pointing updates are enabled
11:10:00 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:10:00   Start slew to CG_Dra...
11:10:01   (wait for slew to complete)
11:10:46   (slew complete)
11:10:46     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-19454s GW=T HAz=-18914s DWz=T WF=no]
11:10:46   Updating pointing...
11:10:46   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:10:46   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:10:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:10:48   (using Fast readout mode)
11:10:48   (starting exposure)
11:11:10   (exposure complete)
11:11:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:11:14   Image finished
11:11:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:11:15   165 image stars found
11:11:15   310 catalog stars found
11:11:16   Solved! 60 stars matched.
11:11:16   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
11:11:16   Pointing error is 0.740 arcmin @ angle 161.37
11:11:16   True focal length is 3466.6 mm.
11:11:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:11:16   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 34.3s   52° 57' 46.44"
11:11:16   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
11:11:16   [sync] pointing model updated
11:11:16   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:11:16   Target is now centered.
11:11:16   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:11:16   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:11:16   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
11:11:16   Focus change of -360 steps required
11:11:20   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:11:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=885.8934 Y=521.9468
11:11:32   (guide star SNR=11.2 X=886 Y=522)
11:11:33   (first exposure estimate 1.33 sec)
11:11:37 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:11:38 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
11:11:38 **Autoguiding failed.
