11:49:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:49:37 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:49:37   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:49:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:49:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:49:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:49:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:49:38 Dome is MaxDome
11:49:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:49:38 Imager is ASCOM
11:49:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:49:38 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240223@114515 UTC
11:49:38 Imager readout modes:
11:49:38   0 is Fast
11:49:38   1 is Normal
11:49:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:49:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:49:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:49:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:49:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:49:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:49:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:49:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:49:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:49:39 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
11:49:39 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
11:49:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
11:49:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:49:39 Pointing updates are enabled
11:49:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:49:39   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
11:49:40   (wait for slew to complete)
11:50:00   (slew complete)
11:50:00     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-14378s GW=T HAz=-13837s DWz=T WF=no]
11:50:00   Updating pointing...
11:50:00   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:50:00   Focus change of -290 steps required
11:50:03   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:50:03   (using Fast readout mode)
11:50:03   (starting exposure)
11:50:28   (exposure complete)
11:50:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:50:32   Image finished
11:50:32   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:50:33   531 image stars found
11:50:33   428 catalog stars found
11:50:34   Solved! 145 stars matched.
11:50:34   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
11:50:34   Pointing error is 1.262 arcmin @ angle 256.51
11:50:34   True focal length is 3467.9 mm.
11:50:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:50:34   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 19.4s   29° 13' 19.33"
11:50:34   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:50:34   [sync] pointing model updated
11:50:34   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:50:34   Target is now centered.
11:50:34   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:50:34   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
11:50:34   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
11:50:34   Focus change of -20 steps required
11:50:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:50:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1251.127 Y=781.6331
11:50:52   (guide star SNR=6.0 X=1251 Y=782)
11:50:52   (first exposure estimate 2.52 sec)
11:50:57   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=1251 Y=781)
11:50:57   (final exposure for guiding 2.18 sec)
11:51:03 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:51:04 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
11:51:06   (take guider image at initial interval 2.18 sec)
11:51:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:51:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:51:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:51:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1249.202 Y=778.0827
11:51:25   (guide star SNR=7.7 X=1249 Y=778)
11:51:25   (first exposure estimate 3.91 sec)
11:51:32 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:51:32 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
11:51:32 **Autoguiding failed.
