10:04:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:04:37 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:04:37   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:04:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:04:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:04:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:04:38 User actions detected.
10:04:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:04:38 Dome is MaxDome
10:04:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:04:38 Imager is ASCOM
10:04:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:04:38 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@100339 UTC
10:04:38 Imager readout modes:
10:04:38   0 is Fast
10:04:38   1 is Normal
10:04:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:04:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:04:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:04:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:04:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:04:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:04:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:04:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:04:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:04:38 ==== Starting target NSV_11749 ====
10:04:38 ACPS Observation NSV_11749(1 of 1)
10:04:38   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSV_11749)
10:04:38   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:04:38 Pointing updates are enabled
10:04:38 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:04:38   Start slew to NSV_11749...
10:04:40   (wait for slew to complete)
10:05:05   (slew complete)

10:05:05   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:05:05   (using Fast readout mode)
10:05:05   (starting exposure)
10:05:18   (exposure complete)
10:05:21   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:05:23  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header

10:05:23 Focus postion= 3570
10:05:23   Image finished
10:05:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:05:24   973 image stars found
10:05:24   357 catalog stars found
10:05:25   Solved! 120 stars matched.
10:05:25   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
10:05:25   Pointing error is 0.755 arcmin @ angle 123.34
10:05:25   True focal length is 3460.9 mm.
10:05:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.90
10:05:25   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 44.9s   00° 02' 26.01"
10:05:25   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:05:25   [sync] pointing model updated
10:05:25   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:05:25   Target is now centered.
10:05:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:05:25   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:05:25   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:05:25   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:05:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:05:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=75.05729 Y=828.9934
10:05:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:05:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:05:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.062 Y=608.0334
10:05:57   (guide star SNR=26.5 X=1326 Y=608)
10:05:57   (first exposure estimate 1.13 sec)
10:06:02 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:06:02 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:06:02 **Autoguiding failed.
