08:45:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:45:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:45:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:45:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:45:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:45:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:45:42 User actions detected.
08:45:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:45:42 Dome is MaxDome
08:45:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:45:43 Imager is ASCOM
08:45:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:45:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240704@084501 UTC
08:45:43 Imager readout modes:
08:45:43   0 is Fast
08:45:43   1 is Normal
08:45:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:45:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:45:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:45:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:45:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:45:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:45:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:45:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:45:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:45:43 ==== Starting target V2492_Cyg ====
08:45:43 ACPS Observation V2492_Cyg(1 of 1)
08:45:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO_ver2821, Plan V2492_Cyg)
08:45:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:45:43 Pointing updates are enabled
08:45:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:45:43   Start slew to V2492_Cyg...
08:45:44   (wait for slew to complete)
08:46:30   (slew complete)

08:46:30   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:46:30   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:46:34   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:46:34   (using Fast readout mode)
08:46:34   (starting exposure)
08:46:56   (exposure complete)

08:47:02   Image finished
08:47:02   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:47:02   109 image stars found
08:47:02   200 catalog stars found
08:47:04   Solved! 18 stars matched.
08:47:04   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
08:47:04   Pointing error is 0.943 arcmin @ angle 42.92
08:47:04   True focal length is 3477.2 mm.
08:47:04   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:47:04   True image center (J2000): 20h 51m 29.8s   44° 06' 05.32"
08:47:04   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
08:47:04   [sync] pointing model updated
08:47:04   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:47:04   Target is now centered.
08:47:04   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:47:04   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:47:04   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
08:47:04   Focus change of -20 steps required
08:47:06   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:47:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1254.005 Y=437.0287
08:47:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:47:21 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:47:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.86 Y=607.9987
08:47:34   (guide star SNR=24.7 X=1326 Y=608)
08:47:35   (first exposure estimate 1.22 sec)
08:47:40 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:47:40 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:47:40 **Autoguiding failed.
