07:06:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:06:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:06:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:06:20 User actions detected.
07:06:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:06:20 Dome is MaxDome
07:06:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:06:20 Imager is ASCOM
07:06:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:06:20 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240618@070539 UTC
07:06:20 Imager readout modes:
07:06:20   0 is Fast
07:06:20   1 is Normal
07:06:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:06:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:06:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:06:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:06:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:06:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:06:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:06:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:06:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:06:20 ACPS Observation V2493_Cyg(1 of 1)
07:06:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V2493_Cyg)
07:06:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:06:20 Pointing updates are enabled
07:06:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:06:20   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
07:06:22   (wait for slew to complete)
07:07:27   (slew complete)
07:07:27   Calling TargetStart user action.

07:07:27   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:07:27   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:07:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:07:31   (using Fast readout mode)
07:07:31   (starting exposure)
07:07:56   (exposure complete)

07:08:01   Image finished
07:08:01   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:08:01   666 image stars found
07:08:01   212 catalog stars found
07:08:03   Solved! 78 stars matched.
07:08:03   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
07:08:03   Pointing error is 0.968 arcmin @ angle 81.80
07:08:03   True focal length is 3467.1 mm.
07:08:03   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:08:03   True image center (J2000): 20h 58m 22.3s   43° 53' 51.67"
07:08:03   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:08:03   [sync] pointing model updated
07:08:03   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:08:03   Target is now centered.
07:08:03   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:08:03   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:08:03   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
07:08:03   No focus change required
07:08:03   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:08:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.007 Y=607.955
07:08:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:08:14 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:08:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.951 Y=608.0002
07:08:27   (guide star SNR=42.2 X=1326 Y=608)
07:08:28   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:08:32 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:08:32 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:08:32 **Autoguiding failed.
