05:12:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:12:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:12:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:12:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:12:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:12:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:12:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:12:18 Dome is MaxDome
05:12:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:12:18 Imager is ASCOM
05:12:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:12:18 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@051137 UTC
05:12:18 Imager readout modes:
05:12:18   0 is Fast
05:12:18   1 is Normal
05:12:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:12:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:12:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:12:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:12:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:12:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:12:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:12:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:12:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:12:18 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
05:12:18 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
05:12:18   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MZK_AUTO_ver2706, Plan GZ_Cnc)
05:12:18   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:12:18 Pointing updates are enabled
05:12:18 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:12:18   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
05:12:20   (wait for slew to complete)
05:12:45   (slew complete)

05:12:45   Updating pointing...
05:12:45   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:12:45   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:12:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:12:48   (using Fast readout mode)
05:12:48   (starting exposure)
05:13:13   (exposure complete)
05:13:16   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:13:17   Image finished
05:13:17   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:13:18   276 image stars found
05:13:18   127 catalog stars found
05:13:19   Solved! 54 stars matched.
05:13:19   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
05:13:19   Pointing error is 2.448 arcmin @ angle 76.35
05:13:19   True focal length is 3472.7 mm.
05:13:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:13:19   True image center (J2000): 09h 16m 01.3s   09° 01' 22.64"
05:13:19   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:13:19   [sync] pointing model updated
05:13:19   Re-slew to target.
05:13:19   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
05:13:23   (wait for slew to complete)
05:13:33   (slew complete)
05:13:33   Target is now centered.
05:13:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:13:33   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:13:33   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:13:33   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:13:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:13:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=527 Y=579
05:13:51 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:13:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:14:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1052.009 Y=359.0021
05:14:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:14:05 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:14:05 **Autoguiding failed.
