10:32:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:32:13 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:32:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:32:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:32:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:32:14 User actions detected.
10:32:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:32:14 Dome is MaxDome
10:32:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:32:14 Imager is ASCOM
10:32:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:32:14 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240618@103155 UTC
10:32:14 Imager readout modes:
10:32:14   0 is Fast
10:32:14   1 is Normal
10:32:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:32:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:32:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:32:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:32:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:32:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:32:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:32:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:32:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:32:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan B0133+47)
10:32:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:32:14 Pointing updates are enabled
10:32:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:32:14   Start slew to B0133+47...
10:32:16   (wait for slew to complete)

10:33:32   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:33:32   Focus change of -270 steps required
10:33:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:33:36   (using Fast readout mode)
10:33:36   (starting exposure)

10:34:05   390 catalog stars found
10:34:07   Solved! 114 stars matched.
10:34:07   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
10:34:07   Pointing error is 0.316 arcmin @ angle 352.75
10:34:07   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
10:34:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:34:07   True image center (J2000): 01h 36m 58.4s   47° 51' 47.90"
10:34:07   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
10:34:07   [sync] pointing model updated
10:34:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:34:07   Target is now centered.
10:34:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:34:07   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:34:07   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:34:07   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:34:10   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:34:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1305.259 Y=520.0219
10:34:25   (guide star SNR=4.8 X=1306 Y=520)
10:34:25   (first exposure estimate 3.12 sec)
10:34:32   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=1305 Y=520)
10:34:32   (final exposure for guiding 3.12 sec)
10:34:39   (guide star SNR=4.1 X=1304 Y=518)
10:34:57 **Guider waited for 15.6 sec and never got a measurement
10:34:58   (take guider image at initial interval 3.12 sec)
10:35:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1018 Y=565
10:35:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:35:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:35:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.051 Y=608.0463
10:35:19   (guide star SNR=19.0 X=1326 Y=608)
10:35:19   (first exposure estimate 1.58 sec)
10:35:24 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:35:24 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:35:24 **Autoguiding failed.
