06:53:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:53:01 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:53:01   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:53:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:53:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:53:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:53:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:53:02 Dome is MaxDome
06:53:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:53:02 Imager is ASCOM
06:53:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:53:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240223@065141 UTC
06:53:02 Imager readout modes:
06:53:02   0 is Fast
06:53:02   1 is Normal
06:53:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:53:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:53:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:53:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:53:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:53:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:53:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:53:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:53:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:53:02 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
06:53:02 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
06:53:02   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
06:53:02   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:53:02 Pointing updates are enabled
06:53:02 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:53:02   Start slew to IR_Com...
06:53:04   (wait for slew to complete)
06:54:16   (slew complete)

06:54:16   Updating pointing...
06:54:16   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:54:16   Focus change of -290 steps required
06:54:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:54:20   (using Fast readout mode)
06:54:20   (starting exposure)
06:54:44   (exposure complete)
06:54:47   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:54:48   Image finished
06:54:48   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:54:48   162 image stars found
06:54:49   151 catalog stars found
06:54:50   Solved! 16 stars matched.
06:54:50   Average residual is 0.48 arcsec.
06:54:50   Pointing error is 2.026 arcmin @ angle 266.68
06:54:50   True focal length is 3477.9 mm.
06:54:50   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:54:50   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 23.5s   21° 07' 59.34"
06:54:50   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:54:50   [sync] pointing model updated
06:54:50   Re-slew to target.
06:54:50   Start slew to IR_Com...
06:54:52   (wait for slew to complete)
06:55:01   (slew complete)
06:55:01   Target is now centered.
06:55:01   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:55:02   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:55:02   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
06:55:02   Focus change of 270 steps required
06:55:05   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:55:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
06:55:20 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:55:20 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:55:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1095.512 Y=942.6274
06:55:34   (guide star SNR=4.9 X=1096 Y=943)
06:55:34   (first exposure estimate 6.15 sec)
06:55:44 **No stars at all found in guider image
06:55:44 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:55:44 **Autoguiding failed.
