03:52:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:52:50 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:52:50   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:52:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:52:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:52:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:52:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:52:51 Dome is MaxDome
03:52:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:52:51 Imager is ASCOM
03:52:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:52:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@035116 UTC
03:52:51 Imager readout modes:
03:52:51   0 is Fast
03:52:51   1 is Normal
03:52:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:52:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:52:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:52:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:52:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:52:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:52:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:52:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:52:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:52:51 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
03:52:51 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
03:52:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
03:52:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:52:51 Pointing updates are enabled
03:52:51 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:52:51   Start slew to J072816...
03:52:53   (wait for slew to complete)
03:54:14   (slew complete)

03:54:14   Updating pointing...
03:54:14   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:54:14   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:54:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:54:17   (using Fast readout mode)
03:54:17   (starting exposure)
03:54:42   (exposure complete)
03:54:45   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:54:46   Image finished
03:54:46   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:54:47   383 image stars found
03:54:47   313 catalog stars found
03:54:48   Solved! 110 stars matched.
03:54:48   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:54:48   Pointing error is 0.716 arcmin @ angle 246.03
03:54:48   True focal length is 3468.4 mm.
03:54:48   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:54:48   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 08.0s   75° 15' 57.73"
03:54:48   Imager sky position angle is 178.6 deg.
03:54:48   [sync] pointing model updated
03:54:48   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:54:48   Target is now centered.
03:54:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:54:48   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:54:48   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
03:54:48   Focus change of -20 steps required
03:54:50   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:55:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=942.0266 Y=34.08367
03:55:05   (guide star SNR=13.0 X=942 Y=34)
03:55:05   (first exposure estimate 1.16 sec)
03:55:10   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=941 Y=32)
03:55:10   (final exposure for guiding 1.08 sec)
03:55:15   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=941 Y=32)
03:55:17 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
03:55:18   (take guider image at initial interval 1.08 sec)
03:55:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027 Y=945
03:55:23 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:55:23 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:55:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=685.9904 Y=583.9906
03:55:37 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:55:37 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:55:37 **Autoguiding failed.
