09:05:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:05:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:05:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:05:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:05:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:05:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:05:03 User actions detected.
09:05:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:05:03 Dome is MaxDome
09:05:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:05:03 Imager is ASCOM
09:05:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:05:03 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240708@090422 UTC
09:05:03 Imager readout modes:
09:05:03   0 is Fast
09:05:03   1 is Normal
09:05:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:05:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:05:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:05:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:05:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:05:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:05:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:05:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:05:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:05:55   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:05:55   Focus change of -290 steps required
09:05:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:05:59   (using Fast readout mode)
09:05:59   (starting exposure)
09:06:21   (exposure complete)
09:06:24   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:06:26  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO put into fits header
09:06:26  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header

09:06:27   973 catalog stars found
09:06:30   Solved! 180 stars matched.
09:06:30   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.

09:06:30   [sync] pointing model updated
09:06:30   Re-slew to target.
09:06:30   Start slew to FY_Aql...
09:06:32   (wait for slew to complete)
09:06:41   (slew complete)
09:06:41   Target is now centered.
09:06:41   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:06:41   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:06:41   Switching from SR to SZ filter for imaging
09:06:41   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:06:44   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:06:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.8569 Y=347.0539
09:06:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:06:58 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:07:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.825 Y=608.0059
09:07:11   (guide star SNR=61.5 X=1326 Y=608)
09:07:12   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:07:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:07:16 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:07:16 **Autoguiding failed.
