09:34:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:34:47 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:34:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:34:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:34:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:34:48 User actions detected.
09:34:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:34:48 Dome is MaxDome
09:34:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:34:48 Imager is ASCOM
09:34:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:34:48 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240625@093301 UTC
09:34:48 Imager readout modes:
09:34:48   0 is Fast
09:34:48   1 is Normal
09:34:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:34:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:34:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:34:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:34:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:34:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:34:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:34:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:34:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:34:48 ==== Starting target MN84 ====
09:34:48 ACPS Observation MN84(1 of 1)
09:34:48   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MN84)
09:34:48   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:34:48 Pointing updates are enabled
09:34:48 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:34:48   Start slew to MN84...
09:34:50   (wait for slew to complete)
09:35:56   (slew complete)
09:35:56   Calling TargetStart user action.
09:35:56 Project Priority is: undefined

09:35:56   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:35:56   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:35:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:35:59   (using Fast readout mode)
09:35:59   (starting exposure)
09:36:17   (exposure complete)
09:36:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:36:22  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
09:36:22  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:36:23 Focus postion= 3570
09:36:23   Image finished
09:36:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:36:23   1029 image stars found
09:36:23   221 catalog stars found
09:36:25   Solved! 91 stars matched.
09:36:25   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
09:36:25   Pointing error is 0.902 arcmin @ angle 137.69
09:36:25   True focal length is 3464.2 mm.
09:36:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:36:25   True image center (J2000): 18h 41m 32.1s   -05° 16' 20.70"
09:36:25   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
09:36:25   [sync] pointing model updated
09:36:25   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:36:25   Target is now centered.
09:36:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:36:25   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:36:25   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:36:25   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:36:28   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:36:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=731.8885 Y=961.3725
09:36:42   (guide star SNR=7.8 X=732 Y=961)
09:36:42   (first exposure estimate 1.91 sec)
09:36:47   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=732 Y=961)
09:36:47   (final exposure for guiding 1.84 sec)
09:36:52   (guide star SNR=2.7 X=733 Y=963)
09:36:54 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
09:36:55   (take guider image at initial interval 1.84 sec)
09:36:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1018.001 Y=565
09:37:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:37:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:37:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.046 Y=608.0316
09:37:14   (guide star SNR=37.6 X=1326 Y=608)
09:37:14   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:37:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:37:19 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:37:19 **Autoguiding failed.
