02:55:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:55:40 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:55:40   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:55:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:55:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:55:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:55:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:55:41 Dome is MaxDome
02:55:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:55:41 Imager is ASCOM
02:55:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:55:41 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240507@025136 UTC
02:55:41 Imager readout modes:
02:55:41   0 is Fast
02:55:41   1 is Normal
02:55:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:55:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:55:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:55:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:55:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:55:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:55:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:55:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:55:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:55:41 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
02:55:41 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
02:55:41   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
02:55:41   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:55:41 Pointing updates are enabled
02:55:41 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:55:41   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:55:43   (wait for slew to complete)
02:56:04   (slew complete)
02:56:04     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=9164s GW=T HAz=9666s DWz=T WF=no]
02:56:04   Updating pointing...
02:56:04   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:56:04   (using Fast readout mode)
02:56:04   (starting exposure)
02:56:19   (exposure complete)
02:56:22   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:56:23   Image finished
02:56:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:56:24   301 image stars found
02:56:24   252 catalog stars found
02:56:25   Solved! 109 stars matched.
02:56:25   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
02:56:25   Pointing error is 0.151 arcmin @ angle 146.75
02:56:25   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
02:56:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:56:25   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 36.9s   47° 50' 34.92"
02:56:25   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:56:25   [sync] pointing model updated
02:56:25   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:56:25   Target is now centered.
02:56:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:56:25   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:56:25   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:56:25   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:56:28   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:56:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:56:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:56:38 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:56:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9899 Y=459.0105
02:56:52   (guide star SNR=21.3 X=913 Y=459)
02:56:52   (first exposure estimate 1.41 sec)
02:56:56 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:56:57 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
02:56:57 **Autoguiding failed.
