05:56:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:56:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:56:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:56:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:56:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:56:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:56:42 User actions detected.
05:56:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:56:42 Dome is MaxDome
05:56:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:56:42 Imager is ASCOM
05:56:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:56:42 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@055431 UTC
05:56:42 Imager readout modes:
05:56:42   0 is Fast
05:56:42   1 is Normal
05:56:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:56:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:56:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:56:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:56:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:56:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:56:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:56:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:56:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:56:42 ==== Starting target FY_Aql ====
05:56:42 ACPS Observation FY_Aql(1 of 1)
05:56:42   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO_ver2413, Plan FY_Aql)
05:56:42   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:56:42 Pointing updates are enabled

05:57:45   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:57:45   (using Fast readout mode)
05:57:45   (starting exposure)
05:57:59   (exposure complete)
05:58:01   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:58:03  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO put into fits header
05:58:03  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
05:58:03 Focus postion= 3570
05:58:03   Image finished
05:58:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:58:04   1407 image stars found
05:58:05   973 catalog stars found
05:58:06   Solved! 106 stars matched.
05:58:06   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
05:58:06   Pointing error is 4.094 arcmin @ angle 256.91
05:58:06   True focal length is 3460.9 mm.
05:58:06   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
05:58:06   True image center (J2000): 19h 27m 44.8s   03° 41' 02.86"
05:58:06   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:58:06   [sync] pointing model updated
05:58:06   Re-slew to target.
05:58:06   Start slew to FY_Aql...
05:58:08   (wait for slew to complete)
05:58:18   (slew complete)
05:58:18   Target is now centered.
05:58:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:58:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:58:18   Switching from SR to SZ filter for imaging
05:58:18   Focus change of -50 steps required
05:58:20   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:58:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.1005 Y=459.0969
05:58:34 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:58:34 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:58:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1324.762 Y=609.5145
05:58:48   (guide star SNR=69.7 X=1326 Y=608)
05:58:49   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
05:58:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:58:53 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:58:53 **Autoguiding failed.
