09:03:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:03:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:03:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:03:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:03:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:03:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:03:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:03:14 Dome is MaxDome
09:03:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:03:14 Imager is ASCOM
09:03:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:03:14 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@085906 UTC
09:03:14 Imager readout modes:
09:03:14   0 is Fast
09:03:14   1 is Normal
09:03:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:03:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:03:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:03:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:03:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:03:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:03:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:03:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:03:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:03:14 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
09:03:14 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
09:03:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
09:03:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:03:14 Pointing updates are enabled
09:03:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:03:14   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
09:03:16   (wait for slew to complete)
09:03:46   (slew complete)

09:03:46   Updating pointing...
09:03:46   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:03:46   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:03:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:03:48   (using Fast readout mode)
09:03:48   (starting exposure)
09:04:11   (exposure complete)
09:04:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:04:14   Image finished
09:04:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:04:14   1560 image stars found
09:04:15   428 catalog stars found
09:04:16   Solved! 162 stars matched.
09:04:16   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
09:04:16   Pointing error is 1.561 arcmin @ angle 95.58
09:04:16   True focal length is 3465.9 mm.
09:04:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:04:16   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 32.1s   29° 13' 27.88"
09:04:16   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
09:04:16   [sync] pointing model updated
09:04:16   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:04:16   Target is now centered.
09:04:16   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:04:16   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:04:17   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
09:04:17   Focus change of -20 steps required
09:04:19   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:04:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1022.094 Y=623.2395
09:04:33   (guide star SNR=11.5 X=1022 Y=623)
09:04:34   (first exposure estimate 1.3 sec)
09:04:38   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=1020 Y=622)
09:04:38   (final exposure for guiding 1.12 sec)
09:04:43   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=1017 Y=619)
09:04:45 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
09:04:46   (take guider image at initial interval 1.12 sec)
09:04:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=31.99677 Y=417.001
09:04:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:04:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:05:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1012.583 Y=615.7036
09:05:04   (guide star SNR=12.4 X=1012 Y=614)
09:05:04   (first exposure estimate 2.42 sec)
09:05:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:05:10 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:05:10 **Autoguiding failed.
