Licensed to Arne Henden
04:00:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:00:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:00:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:00:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:00:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:00:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:00:31 User actions detected.
04:00:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:00:31 Dome is MaxDome
04:00:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:00:31 Imager is ASCOM
04:00:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:00:31 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@035954 UTC
04:00:31 Imager readout modes:
04:00:31   0 is Fast
04:00:31   1 is Normal
04:00:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:00:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:00:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:00:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:00:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:00:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:00:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:00:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:00:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:00:58   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:00:58   Focus change of -50 steps required
04:01:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:01:01   (using Fast readout mode)
04:01:01   (starting exposure)
04:01:22   (exposure complete)
04:01:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:01:27  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO put into fits header

04:01:29   Start slew to IX_Dra...
04:01:31   (wait for slew to complete)
04:01:36   (slew complete)
04:01:36   Target is now centered.
04:01:36   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:01:36   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:01:36   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:01:36   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:01:40   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:01:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.112 Y=607.8867
04:01:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:01:54 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:02:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.922 Y=608.0068
04:02:08   (guide star SNR=75.7 X=1326 Y=608)
04:02:08   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:02:13 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:02:13 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
04:02:13 **Autoguiding failed.
