08:21:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:21:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:21:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:21:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:21:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:21:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:21:54 User actions detected.
08:21:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:21:54 Dome is MaxDome
08:21:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:21:55 Imager is ASCOM
08:21:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:21:55 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240618@082114 UTC
08:21:55 Imager readout modes:
08:21:55   0 is Fast
08:21:55   1 is Normal
08:21:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:21:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:21:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:21:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:21:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:21:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:21:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:21:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:21:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:21:55 ==== Starting target CSS_J212625 ====
08:21:55 ACPS Observation CSS_J212625(1 of 1)
08:21:55   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan CSS_J212625)
08:21:55   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:21:55 Pointing updates are enabled
08:21:55 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:21:55   Start slew to CSS_J212625...
08:21:57   (wait for slew to complete)

08:22:31   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:22:31   Focus change of -320 steps required
08:22:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:22:36   (using Fast readout mode)
08:22:36   (starting exposure)

08:23:06   Image finished
08:23:06   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:23:07   759 image stars found
08:23:07   156 catalog stars found
08:23:08   Solved! 66 stars matched.
08:23:08   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
08:23:08   Pointing error is 0.379 arcmin @ angle 44.60
08:23:08   True focal length is 3467.0 mm.
08:23:08   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:23:08   True image center (J2000): 21h 25m 26.2s   20° 20' 02.61"
08:23:08   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:23:08   [sync] pointing model updated
08:23:08   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:23:08   Target is now centered.
08:23:08   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:23:08   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:23:08   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:23:08   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:23:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:23:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.671 Y=609.1141
08:23:26   (guide star SNR=10.3 X=1326 Y=608)
08:23:26   (first exposure estimate 1.46 sec)
08:23:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:23:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:23:31 **Autoguiding failed.
