11:32:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:32:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:32:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:32:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:32:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:32:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:32:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:32:11 Dome is MaxDome
11:32:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:32:11 Imager is ASCOM
11:32:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:32:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@112742 UTC
11:32:11 Imager readout modes:
11:32:11   0 is Fast
11:32:11   1 is Normal
11:32:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:32:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:32:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:32:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:32:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:32:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:32:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:32:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:32:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:32:11 ==== Starting target U_Sco ====
11:32:11 ACPS Observation U_Sco(1 of 1)
11:32:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Sco)
11:32:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:32:11 Pointing updates are enabled
11:32:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:32:11   Start slew to U_Sco...
11:32:13   (wait for slew to complete)
11:32:47   (slew complete)

11:32:47   Updating pointing...
11:32:47   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:32:47   Focus change of -290 steps required
11:32:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:32:51   (using Fast readout mode)
11:32:51   (starting exposure)
11:33:16   (exposure complete)
11:33:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:33:19   Image finished
11:33:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:33:20   385 image stars found
11:33:20   254 catalog stars found
11:33:21   Solved! 76 stars matched.
11:33:21   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
11:33:21   Pointing error is 2.147 arcmin @ angle 84.58
11:33:21   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
11:33:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:33:21   True image center (J2000): 16h 22m 39.8s   -17° 52' 30.62"
11:33:21   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
11:33:21   [sync] pointing model updated
11:33:21   Re-slew to target.
11:33:21   Start slew to U_Sco...
11:33:23   (wait for slew to complete)
11:33:33   (slew complete)
11:33:33   Target is now centered.
11:33:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:33:33   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:33:33   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
11:33:33   Focus change of 290 steps required
11:33:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:33:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027 Y=945
11:33:51 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:33:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:34:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:34:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:34:05 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:34:05 **Autoguiding failed.
