11:31:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:31:31 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:31:31   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:31:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:31:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:31:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:31:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:31:33 Dome is MaxDome
11:31:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:31:33 Imager is ASCOM
11:31:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:31:33 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240216@112448 UTC
11:31:33 Imager readout modes:
11:31:33   0 is Fast
11:31:33   1 is Normal
11:31:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:31:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:31:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:31:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:31:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:31:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:31:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:31:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:31:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:31:33 ==== Starting target V884_Her ====
11:31:33 ACPS Observation V884_Her(1 of 1)
11:31:33   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V884_Her)
11:31:33   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:31:33 Pointing updates are enabled
11:31:33 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:31:33   Start slew to V884_Her...
11:31:35   (wait for slew to complete)
11:32:04   (slew complete)

11:32:04   Updating pointing...
11:32:04   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:32:04   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:32:07   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:32:07   (using Fast readout mode)
11:32:07   (starting exposure)
11:37:48 **Pointing update error from MaxIm.CCDCamera:
    **Exposure failed after being successfully started
11:37:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:37:48   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:37:48   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
11:37:48   Focus change of 290 steps required
11:37:52   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:38:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:38:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:38:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:38:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:38:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:38:19 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:38:19 **Autoguiding failed.
11:38:19   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
11:38:19     [flip check:  Tn=360s HAc=-13665s GW=T HAz=-13305s DWz=T WF=no]
11:38:19   Imaging to V884_Her_V_20240216_113819_T3
11:38:19   (taking 60 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 2)
11:38:19   (using Normal readout mode)
11:38:19   (starting exposure)
