06:50:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:50:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:50:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:50:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:50:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:50:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:50:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:50:53 Dome is MaxDome
06:50:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:50:53 Imager is ASCOM
06:50:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:50:53 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@064921 UTC
06:50:53 Imager readout modes:
06:50:53   0 is Fast
06:50:53   1 is Normal
06:50:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:50:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:50:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:50:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:50:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:50:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:50:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:50:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:50:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:50:53 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
06:50:53 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
06:50:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
06:50:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:50:53 Pointing updates are enabled
06:50:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:50:53   Start slew to IR_Com...
06:50:55   (wait for slew to complete)
06:51:56   (slew complete)
06:51:56     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-9658s GW=T HAz=-9058s DWz=T WF=no]
06:51:56   Updating pointing...
06:51:56   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:51:56   (using Fast readout mode)
06:51:56   (starting exposure)
06:52:11   (exposure complete)
06:52:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:52:15   Image finished
06:52:15   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:52:16   196 image stars found
06:52:16   151 catalog stars found
06:52:17   Solved! 49 stars matched.
06:52:17   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
06:52:17   Pointing error is 1.335 arcmin @ angle 279.33
06:52:17   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
06:52:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:52:17   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 26.5s   21° 08' 19.37"
06:52:17   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:52:17   [sync] pointing model updated
06:52:17   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:52:17   Target is now centered.
06:52:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:52:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:52:17   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
06:52:17   Focus change of 270 steps required
06:52:20   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:52:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.0716 Y=457.0005
06:52:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:52:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:52:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
06:52:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:52:49 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:52:49 **Autoguiding failed.
