10:54:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:54:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:54:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:54:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:54:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:54:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:54:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:54:55 Dome is MaxDome
10:54:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:54:55 Imager is ASCOM
10:54:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:54:55 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@105307 UTC
10:54:55 Imager readout modes:
10:54:55   0 is Fast
10:54:55   1 is Normal
10:54:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:54:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:54:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:54:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:54:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:54:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:54:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:54:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:54:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:54:55 ==== Starting target NSV_11154 ====
10:54:55 ACPS Observation NSV_11154(1 of 1)
10:54:55   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSV_11154)
10:54:55   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:54:55 Pointing updates are enabled
10:54:55 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:54:55   Start slew to NSV_11154...
10:54:57   (wait for slew to complete)
10:55:52   (slew complete)

10:55:52   Updating pointing...
10:55:52   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:55:52   Focus change of -50 steps required
10:55:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:55:55   (using Fast readout mode)
10:55:55   (starting exposure)
10:56:17   (exposure complete)
10:56:19   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:56:20   Image finished
10:56:20   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:56:21   358 image stars found
10:56:21   352 catalog stars found
10:56:22   Solved! 117 stars matched.
10:56:22   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
10:56:22   Pointing error is 0.575 arcmin @ angle 165.59
10:56:22   True focal length is 3467.1 mm.
10:56:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:56:22   True image center (J2000): 18h 37m 52.1s   47° 22' 50.07"
10:56:22   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:56:22   [sync] pointing model updated
10:56:22   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:56:22   Target is now centered.
10:56:22   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:56:22   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:56:22   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging

10:57:58   (first exposure estimate 1.13 sec)
10:58:03 **No stars at all found in guider image
10:58:03 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:58:03 **Autoguiding failed.
