07:03:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:03:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:03:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:03:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:03:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:03:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:03:57 User actions detected.
07:03:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:03:57 Dome is MaxDome
07:03:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:03:57 Imager is ASCOM
07:03:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:03:57 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@070202 UTC
07:03:57 Imager readout modes:
07:03:57   0 is Fast
07:03:57   1 is Normal
07:03:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:03:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:03:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:03:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:03:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:03:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:03:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:03:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:03:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:03:57 ==== Starting target NSV-6690 ====
07:03:57 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
07:03:57   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
07:03:57   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:03:58 Pointing updates are enabled
07:03:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:03:58   Start slew to NSV-6690...
07:03:59   (wait for slew to complete)
07:04:35   (slew complete)
07:04:35   Calling TargetStart user action.

07:04:35   Updating pointing...
07:04:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:04:35   (using Fast readout mode)
07:04:35   (starting exposure)
07:04:48   (exposure complete)
07:04:51   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:04:53  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO put into fits header
07:04:53  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
07:04:53 Focus postion= 3570
07:04:53   Image finished
07:04:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:04:54   147 image stars found
07:04:54   113 catalog stars found
07:04:55   Solved! 13 stars matched.
07:04:55   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
07:04:55   Pointing error is 0.231 arcmin @ angle 160.15
07:04:55   True focal length is 3471.4 mm.
07:04:55   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:04:55   True image center (J2000): 14h 30m 16.4s   23° 03' 31.49"
07:04:55   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
07:04:55   [sync] pointing model updated
07:04:55   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:04:55   Target is now centered.
07:04:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:04:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:04:55   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
07:04:55   Focus change of 320 steps required
07:04:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:05:12   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.578 Y=607.9922
07:05:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:05:13 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:05:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.042 Y=608.0241
07:05:26   (guide star SNR=21.4 X=1326 Y=608)
07:05:27   (first exposure estimate 1.4 sec)
07:05:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:05:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:05:31 **Autoguiding failed.
