09:05:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:05:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:05:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:05:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:05:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:05:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:05:39 User actions detected.
09:05:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:05:40 Dome is MaxDome
09:05:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:05:40 Imager is ASCOM
09:05:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:05:40 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240628@031602 UTC
09:05:40 Imager readout modes:
09:05:40   0 is Fast
09:05:40   1 is Normal
09:05:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:05:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:05:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:05:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:05:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:05:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:05:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:05:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:05:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:05:40 ==== Starting target V0704_And ====
09:05:40 ACPS Observation V0704_And(1 of 1)
09:05:40   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P253_CDAG_AUTO_ver3388, Plan V0704_And)
09:05:40   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:05:40 Pointing updates are enabled
09:05:40 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:05:40   Start slew to V0704_And...
09:05:41   (wait for slew to complete)

09:06:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:06:52   (using Fast readout mode)
09:06:52   (starting exposure)

09:07:10 Focus postion= 3570
09:07:10   Image finished
09:07:10   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:07:11   219 image stars found
09:07:11   238 catalog stars found
09:07:12   Solved! 54 stars matched.
09:07:12   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
09:07:12   Pointing error is 1.104 arcmin @ angle 174.68
09:07:12   True focal length is 3460.7 mm.
09:07:12   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.90
09:07:12   True image center (J2000): 23h 44m 58.1s   43° 30' 16.35"
09:07:12   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
09:07:12   [sync] pointing model updated
09:07:12   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:07:12   Target is now centered.
09:07:12   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:07:12   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:07:12   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
09:07:12   Focus change of 320 steps required
09:07:17   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:07:29   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.197 Y=607.9954
09:07:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:07:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:07:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.04 Y=608.0453
09:07:44   (guide star SNR=31.7 X=1326 Y=608)
09:07:44   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:07:49 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:07:49 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:07:49 **Autoguiding failed.
