05:37:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:37:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:37:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:37:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:37:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:37:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:37:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:37:55 Dome is MaxDome
05:37:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:37:56 Imager is ASCOM
05:37:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:37:56 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@053635 UTC
05:37:56 Imager readout modes:
05:37:56   0 is Fast
05:37:56   1 is Normal
05:37:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:37:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:37:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:37:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:37:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:37:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:37:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:37:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:37:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:37:56 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:37:56 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:37:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:37:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:37:56 Pointing updates are enabled
05:37:56 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:37:56   Start slew to IR_Com...
05:37:57   (wait for slew to complete)
05:39:14   (slew complete)
05:39:14     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-14269s GW=T HAz=-13669s DWz=T WF=no]
05:39:14   Updating pointing...
05:39:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:39:14   (using Fast readout mode)
05:39:14   (starting exposure)
05:39:29   (exposure complete)
05:39:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:39:33   Image finished
05:39:33   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:39:33   142 image stars found
05:39:34   151 catalog stars found
05:39:35   Solved! 17 stars matched.
05:39:35   Average residual is 0.48 arcsec.
05:39:35   Pointing error is 1.437 arcmin @ angle 262.93
05:39:35   True focal length is 3474.8 mm.
05:39:35   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:39:35   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 26.0s   21° 07' 55.77"
05:39:35   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:39:35   [sync] pointing model updated
05:39:35   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:39:35   Target is now centered.
05:39:35   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:39:35   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:39:35   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
05:39:35   Focus change of 270 steps required
05:39:38   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:39:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=42.75558 Y=829.0933
05:39:53   (guide star SNR=54.0 X=43 Y=829)
05:39:53   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:39:58   (guide star SNR=13.9 X=44 Y=828)
05:39:58   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
05:40:03   (guide star SNR=13.5 X=39 Y=827)
05:40:38 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
05:40:40   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
05:40:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:40:45 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:40:45 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:40:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1359.106 Y=470.9427
05:40:59 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:40:59 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:40:59 **Autoguiding failed.
