11:39:46 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:39:46 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:39:46   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:39:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:39:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:39:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:39:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:39:48 Dome is MaxDome
11:39:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:39:48 Imager is ASCOM
11:39:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:39:48 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240224@113838 UTC
11:39:48 Imager readout modes:
11:39:48   0 is Fast
11:39:48   1 is Normal
11:39:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:39:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:39:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:39:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:39:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:39:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:39:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:39:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:39:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:39:48 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
11:39:48 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
11:39:48   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan M56_V6)
11:39:48   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:39:48 Pointing updates are enabled
11:39:48 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:39:48   Start slew to M56_V6...
11:39:50   (wait for slew to complete)
11:41:17   (slew complete)
11:41:17     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-16055s GW=T HAz=-15395s DWz=T WF=no]
11:41:17   Updating pointing...
11:41:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:41:17   (using Fast readout mode)
11:41:17   (starting exposure)
11:41:32   (exposure complete)
11:41:35   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:41:36   Image finished
11:41:36   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:41:37   890 image stars found
11:41:37   357 catalog stars found
11:41:38   Solved! 111 stars matched.
11:41:38   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
11:41:38   Pointing error is 0.702 arcmin @ angle 247.09
11:41:38   True focal length is 3465.6 mm.
11:41:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:41:38   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 32.5s   30° 10' 47.80"
11:41:38   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:41:38   [sync] pointing model updated
11:41:38   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:41:38   Target is now centered.
11:41:38   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:41:38   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
11:41:38   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
11:41:38   Focus change of 320 steps required
11:41:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:41:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1287.006 Y=882
11:41:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:41:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:42:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.201 Y=945.0554
11:42:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:42:09 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:42:09 **Autoguiding failed.
