10:09:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:09:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:09:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:09:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:09:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:09:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:09:55 User actions detected.
10:09:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:09:55 Dome is MaxDome
10:09:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:09:55 Imager is ASCOM
10:09:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:09:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240708@100913 UTC
10:09:55 Imager readout modes:
10:09:55   0 is Fast
10:09:55   1 is Normal
10:09:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:09:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:09:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:09:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:09:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:09:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:09:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:09:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:09:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:09:55 ==== Starting target V1412_Aql ====
10:09:55 ACPS Observation V1412_Aql(1 of 1)
10:09:55   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V1412_Aql)
10:09:55   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:09:55 Pointing updates are enabled
10:09:55 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:09:55   Start slew to V1412_Aql...
10:09:57   (wait for slew to complete)
10:10:51   (slew complete)
10:10:51   Calling TargetStart user action.
10:10:51 Project Priority is: undefined

10:10:51   Updating pointing...
10:10:51   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:10:51   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:10:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:10:55   (using Fast readout mode)
10:10:55   (starting exposure)
10:11:18   (exposure complete)
10:11:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:11:22  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
10:11:22  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:11:22 Focus postion= 3322
10:11:22   Image finished
10:11:22   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:11:23   1147 image stars found
10:11:24   288 catalog stars found
10:11:25   Solved! 83 stars matched.
10:11:25   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
10:11:25   Pointing error is 1.132 arcmin @ angle 64.48
10:11:25   True focal length is 3465.8 mm.
10:11:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:11:25   True image center (J2000): 20h 13m 59.8s   06° 43' 14.15"
10:11:25   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:11:25   [sync] pointing model updated
10:11:25   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:11:25   Target is now centered.
10:11:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:11:25   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:11:25   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:11:25   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:11:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:11:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.185 Y=608.0887
10:11:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:11:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:11:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.046 Y=608.0848
10:11:56   (guide star SNR=45.5 X=1326 Y=608)
10:11:57   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:12:02 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:12:02 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:12:02 **Autoguiding failed.
