10:42:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:42:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:42:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:42:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:42:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:42:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:42:36 User actions detected.
10:42:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:42:36 Dome is MaxDome
10:42:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:42:36 Imager is ASCOM
10:42:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:42:36 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240710@104159 UTC
10:42:36 Imager readout modes:
10:42:36   0 is Fast
10:42:36   1 is Normal
10:42:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:42:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:42:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:42:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:42:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:42:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:42:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:42:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:42:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:42:36 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
10:42:36 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
10:42:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
10:42:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:42:36 Pointing updates are enabled
10:42:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

10:44:16   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:44:16   Focus change of -270 steps required
10:44:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:44:20   (using Fast readout mode)

10:44:47   1023 image stars found
10:44:47   428 catalog stars found
10:44:48   Solved! 141 stars matched.
10:44:48   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
10:44:48   Pointing error is 1.590 arcmin @ angle 48.27
10:44:48   True focal length is 3465.0 mm.
10:44:48   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:44:48   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 30.4s   29° 14' 40.51"
10:44:48   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:44:48   [sync] pointing model updated
10:44:48   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:44:48   Target is now centered.
10:44:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:44:48   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:44:48   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
10:44:48   Focus change of -20 steps required
10:44:51   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:45:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1064.15 Y=797.1764
10:45:06   (guide star SNR=8.5 X=1065 Y=797)
10:45:06   (first exposure estimate 1.76 sec)
10:45:11   (guide star SNR=3.7 X=1065 Y=799)
10:45:11   (final exposure for guiding 1.43 sec)
10:45:16   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=1065 Y=798)
10:45:28 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
10:45:29   (take guider image at initial interval 1.43 sec)
10:45:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=902 Y=65
10:45:34 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:45:34 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:45:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=912.9315 Y=459.1081
10:45:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:45:47 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:45:47 **Autoguiding failed.
