Licensed to Arne Henden
03:03:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:03:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:03:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:03:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:03:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:03:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:03:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:03:59 Dome is MaxDome
03:03:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:03:59 Imager is ASCOM
03:03:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:03:59 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240514@025806 UTC
03:03:59 Imager readout modes:
03:03:59   0 is Fast
03:03:59   1 is Normal
03:03:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:03:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:03:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:03:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:03:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:03:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:03:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:03:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:03:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:03:59 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
03:03:59 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
03:03:59   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
03:03:59   (turning on sidereal tracking)

03:04:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:04:50   444 image stars found
03:04:50   252 catalog stars found
03:05:03 ** No matching stars found. Check your estimated center-point RA/Dec, and your image scaling and quality.
03:05:04   Start slew to offset...

03:06:09   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:06:09   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:06:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:06:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0359 Y=458.9999
03:06:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:06:22 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:06:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.052 Y=459.0559
03:06:35   (guide star SNR=37.0 X=913 Y=459)
03:06:35   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
03:06:40 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:06:40 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:06:40 **Autoguiding failed.
