11:55:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:55:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:55:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:55:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:55:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:55:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:55:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:55:08 Dome is MaxDome
11:55:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:55:08 Imager is ASCOM
11:55:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:55:08 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@115337 UTC
11:55:08 Imager readout modes:
11:55:08   0 is Fast
11:55:08   1 is Normal
11:55:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:55:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:55:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:55:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:55:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:55:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:55:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:55:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:55:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:55:08 ==== Starting target V0406_Vul ====
11:55:08 ACPS Observation V0406_Vul(1 of 1)
11:55:08   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P194_BPEC_AUTO_ver2706, Plan V0406_Vul)
11:55:08   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:55:08 Pointing updates are enabled
11:55:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:55:08   Start slew to V0406_Vul...
11:55:10   (wait for slew to complete)
11:55:45   (slew complete)

11:55:45   Updating pointing...
11:55:45   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:55:45   Focus change of -320 steps required
11:55:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:55:49   (using Fast readout mode)
11:55:49   (starting exposure)
11:56:15   (exposure complete)
11:56:17   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:56:19   Image finished
11:56:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:56:19   1287 image stars found
11:56:19   332 catalog stars found
11:56:20   Solved! 127 stars matched.
11:56:20   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
11:56:20   Pointing error is 0.690 arcmin @ angle 239.87
11:56:20   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
11:56:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:56:20   True image center (J2000): 18h 58m 38.9s   22° 39' 09.42"
11:56:20   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:56:20   [sync] pointing model updated
11:56:20   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:56:20   Target is now centered.
11:56:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:56:20   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:56:20   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
11:56:20   Focus change of -360 steps required
11:56:24   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:56:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=614.9487 Y=592.2119
11:56:37   (guide star SNR=27.2 X=615 Y=592)
11:56:37   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
11:56:42   (guide star SNR=5.9 X=614 Y=590)
11:56:42   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
11:56:47   (guide star SNR=5.4 X=613 Y=590)
11:57:13 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
11:57:15   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
11:57:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723 Y=913
11:57:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:57:20 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:57:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.4109 Y=456.9908
11:57:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:57:33 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:57:33 **Autoguiding failed.
