11:51:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:51:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:51:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:51:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:51:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:51:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:51:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:51:40 Dome is MaxDome
11:51:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:51:41 Imager is ASCOM
11:51:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:51:41 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240223@115036 UTC
11:51:41 Imager readout modes:
11:51:41   0 is Fast
11:51:41   1 is Normal
11:51:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:51:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:51:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:51:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:51:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:51:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:51:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:51:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:51:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:51:41 ==== Starting target KU_Cyg ====
11:51:41 ACPS Observation KU_Cyg(1 of 1)
11:51:41   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KU_Cyg)
11:51:41   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:51:41 Pointing updates are enabled
11:51:41 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:51:41   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
11:51:43   (wait for slew to complete)
11:52:08   (slew complete)
11:52:08     [flip check:  Tn=440s HAc=-18996s GW=T HAz=-18556s DWz=T WF=no]
11:52:08   Updating pointing...
11:52:08   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:52:08   Focus change of 20 steps required
11:52:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:52:11   (using Fast readout mode)
11:52:11   (starting exposure)
11:52:28   (exposure complete)
11:52:30   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:52:31   Image finished
11:52:31   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:52:32   503 image stars found
11:52:32   407 catalog stars found
11:52:33   Solved! 109 stars matched.
11:52:33   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
11:52:33   Pointing error is 0.705 arcmin @ angle 199.58
11:52:33   True focal length is 3471.8 mm.
11:52:33   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:52:33   True image center (J2000): 20h 12m 43.7s   47° 23' 01.56"
11:52:33   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:52:33   [sync] pointing model updated
11:52:33   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:52:33   Target is now centered.
11:52:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:52:33   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
11:52:33   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
11:52:33   Focus change of -20 steps required
11:52:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)

11:53:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:53:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:53:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:54:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=602.469 Y=59.00275
11:54:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
