12:07:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:07:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:07:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:07:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:07:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:07:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:07:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:07:59 Dome is MaxDome
12:07:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:07:59 Imager is ASCOM
12:08:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:08:00 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240217@120647 UTC
12:08:00 Imager readout modes:
12:08:00   0 is Fast
12:08:00   1 is Normal
12:08:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:08:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:08:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:08:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:08:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:08:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:08:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:08:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:08:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:08:00 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
12:08:00 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
12:08:00   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
12:08:00   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:08:00 Pointing updates are enabled
12:08:00 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:08:00   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
12:08:01   (wait for slew to complete)
12:09:22   (slew complete)
12:09:22     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-14631s GW=T HAz=-14091s DWz=T WF=no]
12:09:22   Updating pointing...
12:09:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:09:22   (using Fast readout mode)
12:09:22   (starting exposure)
12:09:37   (exposure complete)
12:09:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:09:41   Image finished
12:09:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:09:42   1016 image stars found
12:09:42   428 catalog stars found
12:09:43   Solved! 123 stars matched.
12:09:43   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
12:09:43   Pointing error is 1.796 arcmin @ angle 80.49
12:09:43   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
12:09:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:09:43   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 33.1s   29° 13' 54.78"
12:09:43   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
12:09:43   [sync] pointing model updated
12:09:43   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:09:44   Target is now centered.
12:09:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:09:44   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
12:09:44   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
12:09:44   Focus change of -20 steps required
12:09:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:09:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=969.7811 Y=641.3634
12:10:00   (guide star SNR=10.0 X=970 Y=641)
12:10:00   (first exposure estimate 1.49 sec)
12:10:05   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=967 Y=639)
12:10:05   (final exposure for guiding 1.53 sec)
12:10:10   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=965 Y=638)
12:10:12 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
12:10:13   (take guider image at initial interval 1.53 sec)
12:10:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=965 Y=638
12:10:18 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
12:10:18 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
12:10:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.021 Y=945.2255
12:10:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
12:10:31 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
12:10:31 **Autoguiding failed.
