05:46:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:46:09 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:46:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:46:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:46:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:46:10 User actions detected.
05:46:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:46:10 Dome is MaxDome
05:46:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:46:10 Imager is ASCOM
05:46:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:46:10 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240618@054529 UTC
05:46:10 Imager readout modes:
05:46:10   0 is Fast
05:46:10   1 is Normal
05:46:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:46:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:46:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:46:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:46:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:46:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:46:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:46:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:46:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:46:11 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
05:46:11 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
05:46:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan X_Ser)
05:46:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:46:11 Pointing updates are enabled
05:46:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:46:11   Start slew to X_Ser...
05:46:12   (wait for slew to complete)

05:47:03   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:47:03   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:47:07   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:47:07   (using Fast readout mode)
05:47:07   (starting exposure)
05:47:33   (exposure complete)
05:47:35   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:47:38  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
05:47:38  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:47:38 Focus postion= 3382
05:47:38   Image finished
05:47:38   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:47:39   361 image stars found
05:47:39   193 catalog stars found
05:47:40   Solved! 48 stars matched.
05:47:40   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.

05:47:40   [sync] pointing model updated
05:47:40   Re-slew to target.
05:47:40   Start slew to X_Ser...
05:47:41   (wait for slew to complete)
05:47:51   (slew complete)
05:47:51   Target is now centered.
05:47:51   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:47:51   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:47:51   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:47:51   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:47:55   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:48:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=198.0312 Y=416.0305
05:48:09   (guide star SNR=11.7 X=198 Y=416)
05:48:10   (first exposure estimate 1.29 sec)
05:48:14   (guide star SNR=4.1 X=198 Y=419)
05:48:15   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
05:48:19   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=197 Y=416)
05:48:46 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
05:48:47   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
05:48:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1276.002 Y=852
05:48:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:48:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:49:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.063 Y=607.9986
05:49:05   (guide star SNR=36.2 X=1326 Y=608)
05:49:06   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:49:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:49:11 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:49:11 **Autoguiding failed.
