11:22:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:22:14 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:22:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:22:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:22:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:22:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:22:16 Dome is MaxDome
11:22:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:22:16 Imager is ASCOM
11:22:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:22:16 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@112112 UTC
11:22:16 Imager readout modes:
11:22:16   0 is Fast
11:22:16   1 is Normal
11:22:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:22:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:22:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:22:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:22:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:22:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:22:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:22:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:22:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

11:22:16 ACPS Observation V884_Her(1 of 1)
11:22:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V884_Her)
11:22:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:22:16 Pointing updates are enabled

11:23:52   236 image stars found
11:23:52   281 catalog stars found
11:23:53   Solved! 90 stars matched.
11:23:53   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
11:23:53   Pointing error is 1.484 arcmin @ angle 264.80
11:23:53   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
11:23:53   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:23:53   True image center (J2000): 18h 02m 00.3s   18° 04' 35.92"
11:23:53   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:23:53   [sync] pointing model updated
11:23:53   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:23:53   Target is now centered.
11:23:53   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:23:53   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:23:53   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
11:23:53   Focus change of 290 steps required
11:23:57   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:24:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1052 Y=359
11:24:11 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:24:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:24:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.001 Y=945
11:24:24 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:24:24 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:24:24 **Autoguiding failed.
11:24:24   (**AG failed, but individual exposure(s) can be unguided)
