04:55:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:55:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:55:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:55:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:55:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:55:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:55:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:55:42 Dome is MaxDome
04:55:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:55:42 Imager is ASCOM
04:55:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:55:42 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240412@045506 UTC
04:55:42 Imager readout modes:
04:55:42   0 is Fast
04:55:42   1 is Normal
04:55:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:55:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:55:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:55:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:55:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:55:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:55:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:55:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:55:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:55:42 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
04:55:42 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
04:55:42   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
04:55:42   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:55:42 Pointing updates are enabled
04:55:42 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:55:42   Start slew to IR_Com...
04:55:44   (wait for slew to complete)
04:56:59   (slew complete)
04:56:59     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-5220s GW=T HAz=-4620s DWz=T WF=no]
04:56:59   Updating pointing...
04:57:00   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:57:00   Focus change of 20 steps required
04:57:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:57:02   (using Fast readout mode)
04:57:02   (starting exposure)
04:57:18   (exposure complete)
04:57:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:57:21   Image finished
04:57:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:57:22   236 image stars found
04:57:22   151 catalog stars found
04:57:24   Solved! 51 stars matched.
04:57:24   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
04:57:24   Pointing error is 1.605 arcmin @ angle 285.34
04:57:24   True focal length is 3469.0 mm.
04:57:24   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:57:24   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 25.5s   21° 08' 31.87"
04:57:24   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
04:57:24   [sync] pointing model updated
04:57:24   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:57:24   Target is now centered.
04:57:24   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:57:24   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:57:24   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
04:57:24   Focus change of 270 steps required
04:57:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:57:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=850.2896 Y=57.99831
04:57:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:57:42 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:57:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1294.033 Y=87.05547
04:57:56 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:57:56 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:57:56 **Autoguiding failed.
