11:23:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:23:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:23:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:23:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:23:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:23:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:23:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:23:20 Dome is MaxDome
11:23:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:23:20 Imager is ASCOM
11:23:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:23:20 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240222@112135 UTC
11:23:20 Imager readout modes:
11:23:20   0 is Fast
11:23:20   1 is Normal
11:23:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:23:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:23:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:23:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:23:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:23:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:23:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:23:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:23:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:23:20 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
11:23:20 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
11:23:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
11:23:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:23:20 Pointing updates are enabled
11:23:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:23:20   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
11:23:22   (wait for slew to complete)
11:23:52   (slew complete)
11:23:52     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-16186s GW=T HAz=-15646s DWz=T WF=no]
11:23:52   Updating pointing...
11:23:52   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:23:52   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:23:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:23:55   (using Fast readout mode)
11:23:55   (starting exposure)
11:24:16   (exposure complete)
11:24:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:24:20   Image finished
11:24:20   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:24:20   903 image stars found
11:24:20   428 catalog stars found
11:24:21   Solved! 130 stars matched.
11:24:21   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
11:24:21   Pointing error is 0.910 arcmin @ angle 258.67
11:24:22   True focal length is 3466.0 mm.
11:24:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:24:22   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 20.9s   29° 13' 26.28"
11:24:22   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:24:22   [sync] pointing model updated
11:24:22   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:24:22   Target is now centered.
11:24:22   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:24:22   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
11:24:22   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
11:24:22   Focus change of -20 steps required
11:24:24   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:24:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1224.143 Y=773.2731
11:24:38   (guide star SNR=7.2 X=1224 Y=773)
11:24:38   (first exposure estimate 2.09 sec)
11:24:44   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=1220 Y=770)
11:24:45   (final exposure for guiding 1.73 sec)
11:24:49   (guide star SNR=2.7 X=1221 Y=770)
11:24:51 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
11:24:52   (take guider image at initial interval 1.73 sec)
11:24:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161 Y=865
11:24:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:24:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:25:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.1534 Y=347.0396
11:25:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:25:11 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:25:11 **Autoguiding failed.
