05:42:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:42:40 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:42:40   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:42:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:42:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:42:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:42:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:42:42 Dome is MaxDome
05:42:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:42:42 Imager is ASCOM
05:42:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:42:42 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240215@053811 UTC
05:42:42 Imager readout modes:
05:42:42   0 is Fast
05:42:42   1 is Normal
05:42:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:42:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:42:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:42:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:42:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:42:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:42:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:42:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:42:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:42:42 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:42:42 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:42:42   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:42:42   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:42:42 Pointing updates are enabled
05:42:42 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:42:42   Start slew to IR_Com...
05:42:44   (wait for slew to complete)
05:44:09   (slew complete)
05:44:09     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-15865s GW=T HAz=-15265s DWz=T WF=no]
05:44:09   Updating pointing...
05:44:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:44:09   (using Fast readout mode)
05:44:09   (starting exposure)
05:44:25   (exposure complete)
05:44:28   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:44:29   Image finished
05:44:29   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:44:30   187 image stars found
05:44:30   151 catalog stars found
05:44:31   Solved! 43 stars matched.
05:44:31   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
05:44:31   Pointing error is 0.698 arcmin @ angle 260.65
05:44:31   True focal length is 3464.0 mm.
05:44:31   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:44:31   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 29.2s   21° 07' 59.59"
05:44:31   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:44:31   [sync] pointing model updated
05:44:31   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:44:31   Target is now centered.
05:44:31   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:44:31   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:44:31   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
05:44:31   Focus change of 270 steps required
05:44:34   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:44:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:44:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:44:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:45:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.0715 Y=456.9991
05:45:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:45:04 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:45:04 **Autoguiding failed.
