05:01:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:01:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:01:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:01:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:01:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:01:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:01:52 User actions detected.
05:01:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:01:52 Dome is MaxDome
05:01:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:01:52 Imager is ASCOM
05:01:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:01:52 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@050006 UTC
05:01:52 Imager readout modes:
05:01:52   0 is Fast
05:01:52   1 is Normal
05:01:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:01:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:01:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:01:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:01:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:01:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:01:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:01:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:01:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:01:52 ==== Starting target FY_Aql ====
05:01:52 ACPS Observation FY_Aql(1 of 1)
05:01:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO_ver2413, Plan FY_Aql)
05:01:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:01:52 Pointing updates are enabled
05:01:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:01:52   Start slew to FY_Aql...
05:01:54   (wait for slew to complete)
05:03:09   (slew complete)
05:03:09   Calling TargetStart user action.

05:03:09   Updating pointing...
05:03:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:03:09   (using Fast readout mode)
05:03:09   (starting exposure)
05:03:25   (exposure complete)
05:03:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:03:30  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO put into fits header
05:03:30  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:03:30 Focus postion= 3382
05:03:30   Image finished
05:03:30   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:03:31   2093 image stars found
05:03:31   973 catalog stars found
05:03:33   Solved! 112 stars matched.
05:03:34   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
05:03:34   Pointing error is 1.300 arcmin @ angle 73.35
05:03:34   True focal length is 3464.6 mm.
05:03:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:03:34   True image center (J2000): 19h 28m 05.8s   03° 42' 20.85"
05:03:34   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:03:34   [sync] pointing model updated
05:03:34   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:03:34   Target is now centered.
05:03:34   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:03:34   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:03:34   Switching from SR to SZ filter for imaging
05:03:34   Focus change of -50 steps required
05:03:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:03:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.883 Y=608.0233
05:03:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:03:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:04:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.016 Y=608.0049
05:04:04   (guide star SNR=72.0 X=1326 Y=608)
05:04:04   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:04:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:04:09 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:04:09 **Autoguiding failed.
