09:53:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:53:21 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:53:21   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:53:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:53:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:53:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:53:22 User actions detected.
09:53:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:53:22 Dome is MaxDome
09:53:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:53:23 Imager is ASCOM
09:53:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:53:23 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240629@095124 UTC
09:53:23 Imager readout modes:
09:53:23   0 is Fast
09:53:23   1 is Normal
09:53:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:53:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:53:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:53:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:53:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:53:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:53:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:53:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:53:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:53:23 ==== Starting target AE_And ====
09:53:23 ACPS Observation AE_And(1 of 1)
09:53:23   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AE_And)
09:53:23   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:53:23 Pointing updates are enabled
09:53:23 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:53:23   Start slew to AE_And...
09:53:24   (wait for slew to complete)
09:54:34   (slew complete)
09:54:34   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:54:34   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:54:34   (using Fast readout mode)
09:54:34   (starting exposure)
09:54:47   (exposure complete)
09:54:49   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:54:52  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO put into fits header
09:54:52  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:54:52 Focus postion= 3570
09:54:52   Image finished
09:54:52   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:54:53   255 image stars found
09:54:53   297 catalog stars found
09:54:54   Solved! 69 stars matched.
09:54:54   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
09:54:54   Pointing error is 0.822 arcmin @ angle 186.95
09:54:54   True focal length is 3457.4 mm.
09:54:54   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
09:54:54   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 02.0s   41° 48' 23.25"
09:54:54   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
09:54:54   [sync] pointing model updated
09:54:54   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:54:54   Target is now centered.
09:54:54   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:54:54   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:54:54   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:54:54   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:54:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:55:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.516 Y=608.0037
09:55:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:55:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:55:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.019 Y=607.9819
09:55:26   (guide star SNR=66.8 X=1326 Y=608)
09:55:26   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:55:31 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:55:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:55:31 **Autoguiding failed.
