08:02:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:02:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:02:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:02:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:02:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:02:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:02:39 User actions detected.
08:02:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:02:39 Dome is MaxDome
08:02:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:02:39 Imager is ASCOM
08:02:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:02:39 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240625@080120 UTC
08:02:39 Imager readout modes:
08:02:39   0 is Fast
08:02:39   1 is Normal
08:02:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:02:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:02:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:02:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:02:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:02:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:02:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:02:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:02:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:02:39 ==== Starting target V2493_Cyg ====
08:02:39 ACPS Observation V2493_Cyg(1 of 1)
08:02:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V2493_Cyg)
08:02:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:02:39 Pointing updates are enabled
08:02:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:02:39   Start slew to V2493_Cyg...
08:02:41   (wait for slew to complete)
08:03:26   (slew complete)
08:03:26   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:03:26   Updating pointing...
08:03:26   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:03:26   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:03:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:03:30   (using Fast readout mode)
08:03:30   (starting exposure)
08:03:52   (exposure complete)
08:03:54   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:03:57  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
08:03:57  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:03:57 Focus postion= 3570
08:03:57   Image finished
08:03:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:03:58   445 image stars found
08:03:58   212 catalog stars found
08:03:59   Solved! 56 stars matched.
08:03:59   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
08:03:59   Pointing error is 1.176 arcmin @ angle 123.95
08:03:59   True focal length is 3463.2 mm.
08:03:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:03:59   True image center (J2000): 20h 58m 22.4s   43° 53' 04.00"
08:03:59   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
08:03:59   [sync] pointing model updated
08:03:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:03:59   Target is now centered.
08:03:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:03:59   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:03:59   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
08:03:59   No focus change required
08:03:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:04:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.522 Y=457.0986
08:04:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:04:11 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:04:24   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.071 Y=607.9554
08:04:25   (guide star SNR=41.1 X=1326 Y=608)
08:04:25   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:04:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:04:30 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:04:30 **Autoguiding failed.
