09:08:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:08:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:08:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:08:56 User actions detected.
09:08:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:08:56 Dome is MaxDome
09:08:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:08:56 Imager is ASCOM
09:08:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:08:56 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240708@090817 UTC
09:08:56 Imager readout modes:
09:08:56   0 is Fast
09:08:56   1 is Normal
09:08:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:08:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:08:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:08:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:08:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:08:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:08:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:08:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:08:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:08:56 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
09:08:56 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
09:08:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
09:08:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:08:56 Pointing updates are enabled
09:08:56 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:08:56   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
09:08:58   (wait for slew to complete)

09:09:19   Switching from Open to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:09:19   Focus change of 360 steps required
09:09:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:09:23   (using Fast readout mode)
09:09:23   (starting exposure)
09:09:41   (exposure complete)
09:09:44   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:09:46  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO put into fits header

09:09:46   Image finished
09:09:46   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:09:47   785 image stars found
09:09:47   331 catalog stars found
09:09:48   Solved! 119 stars matched.
09:09:48   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
09:09:48   Pointing error is 1.103 arcmin @ angle 300.07
09:09:48   True focal length is 3467.6 mm.
09:09:48   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:09:48   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 11.0s   44° 01' 41.77"
09:09:48   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
09:09:48   [sync] pointing model updated
09:09:48   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:09:48   Target is now centered.
09:09:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:09:48   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:09:48   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
09:09:48   Focus change of 50 steps required
09:09:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:09:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.1577 Y=347.1774
09:10:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:10:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:10:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.08 Y=608.1146
09:10:14   (guide star SNR=30.6 X=1326 Y=608)
09:10:14   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:10:19 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:10:19 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:10:19 **Autoguiding failed.
