11:32:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:32:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:32:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:32:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:32:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:32:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:32:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:32:39 Dome is MaxDome
11:32:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:32:39 Imager is ASCOM
11:32:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:32:39 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@113219 UTC
11:32:39 Imager readout modes:
11:32:39   0 is Fast
11:32:39   1 is Normal
11:32:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:32:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:32:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:32:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:32:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:32:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:32:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:32:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:32:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:32:39 ==== Starting target V2493_Cyg ====
11:32:39 ACPS Observation V2493_Cyg(1 of 1)
11:32:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO_ver2821, Plan V2493_Cyg)
11:32:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:32:39 Pointing updates are enabled
11:32:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:32:39   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
11:32:41   (wait for slew to complete)
11:33:20   (slew complete)
11:33:20     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-14824s GW=T HAz=-14224s DWz=T WF=no]
11:33:20   Updating pointing...
11:33:20   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:33:20   Focus change of -290 steps required
11:33:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:33:23   (using Fast readout mode)
11:33:23   (starting exposure)
11:33:48   (exposure complete)
11:33:50   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:33:52   Image finished
11:33:52   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:33:52   487 image stars found
11:33:53   212 catalog stars found
11:33:54   Solved! 63 stars matched.
11:33:54   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
11:33:54   Pointing error is 1.108 arcmin @ angle 111.52
11:33:54   True focal length is 3467.7 mm.
11:33:54   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:33:54   True image center (J2000): 20h 58m 22.7s   43° 53' 19.00"
11:33:54   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:33:54   [sync] pointing model updated
11:33:54   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:33:54   Target is now centered.
11:33:54   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:33:54   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:33:54   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
11:33:54   Focus change of 320 steps required
11:33:58   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:34:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=365.3574 Y=450.1924
11:34:11   (guide star SNR=14.6 X=366 Y=450)
11:34:11   (first exposure estimate 1.03 sec)
11:34:16   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=379 Y=461)
11:34:16   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
11:34:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:34:22 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
11:34:23   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
11:34:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=363.065 Y=446.3916
11:34:28   (guide star SNR=4.0 X=363 Y=446)
11:34:28   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
11:34:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:34:34 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
11:34:34 **Autoguiding failed.
