04:37:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:37:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:37:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:37:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:37:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:37:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:37:53 User actions detected.
04:37:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:37:53 Dome is MaxDome
04:37:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:37:53 Imager is ASCOM
04:37:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:37:53 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@043639 UTC
04:37:53 Imager readout modes:
04:37:53   0 is Fast
04:37:53   1 is Normal
04:37:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:37:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:37:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:37:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:37:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:37:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:37:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:37:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:37:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:37:53 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
04:37:53 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
04:37:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
04:37:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:37:53 Pointing updates are enabled
04:37:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:37:53   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
04:37:55   (wait for slew to complete)

04:38:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:38:14   (using Fast readout mode)
04:38:14   (starting exposure)

04:38:35   Image finished
04:38:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:38:36   208 image stars found
04:38:36   113 catalog stars found
04:38:37   Solved! 20 stars matched.
04:38:37   Average residual is 0.41 arcsec.
04:38:37   Pointing error is 0.531 arcmin @ angle 10.00
04:38:37   True focal length is 3485.2 mm.
04:38:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:38:37   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 23.8s   15° 09' 47.36"
04:38:37   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
04:38:37   [sync] pointing model updated
04:38:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:38:37   Target is now centered.
04:38:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:38:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:38:37   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:38:37   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:38:40   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:38:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=51.00962 Y=65.06735
04:38:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:38:55 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:39:08   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.913 Y=608.0056
04:39:08   (guide star SNR=58.8 X=1326 Y=608)
04:39:09   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:39:14 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:39:14 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:39:14 **Autoguiding failed.
