07:04:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:04:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:04:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:04:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:04:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:04:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:04:31 User actions detected.
07:04:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:04:31 Dome is MaxDome
07:04:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:04:31 Imager is ASCOM
07:04:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:04:31 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@070304 UTC
07:04:31 Imager readout modes:
07:04:31   0 is Fast
07:04:31   1 is Normal
07:04:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:04:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:04:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:04:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:04:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:04:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:04:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:04:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:04:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:04:31 ==== Starting target U_Sco ====
07:04:31 ACPS Observation U_Sco(1 of 1)
07:04:31   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Sco)
07:04:31   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:04:31 Pointing updates are enabled
07:04:31 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:04:31   Start slew to U_Sco...
07:04:33   (wait for slew to complete)
07:05:13   (slew complete)

07:05:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:05:13   (using Fast readout mode)
07:05:13   (starting exposure)
07:05:29   (exposure complete)
07:05:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:05:33  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header

07:05:34   Image finished
07:05:34   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:05:34   571 image stars found
07:05:34   254 catalog stars found
07:05:35   Solved! 78 stars matched.
07:05:35   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
07:05:35   Pointing error is 0.791 arcmin @ angle 295.87
07:05:35   True focal length is 3466.1 mm.
07:05:35   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:05:35   True image center (J2000): 16h 22m 27.8s   -17° 52' 22.09"
07:05:35   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:05:36   [sync] pointing model updated
07:05:36   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:05:36   Target is now centered.
07:05:36   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:05:36   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:05:36   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:05:36   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:05:39   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:05:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1358.65 Y=471.0004
07:05:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:05:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:06:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.902 Y=608.0283
07:06:07   (guide star SNR=49.9 X=1326 Y=608)
07:06:07   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:06:12 **No stars at all found in guider image
07:06:12 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:06:12 **Autoguiding failed.
