08:58:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:58:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:58:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:58:13 User actions detected.
08:58:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:58:14 Dome is MaxDome
08:58:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:58:14 Imager is ASCOM
08:58:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:58:14 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240714@085631 UTC
08:58:14 Imager readout modes:
08:58:14   0 is Fast
08:58:14   1 is Normal
08:58:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:58:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:58:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:58:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:58:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:58:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:58:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:58:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:58:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:58:14 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
08:58:14 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
08:58:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
08:58:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:58:14 Pointing updates are enabled
08:58:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

08:58:35   Switching from Open to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:58:35   Focus change of 360 steps required
08:58:39   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:58:39   (using Fast readout mode)
08:58:39   (starting exposure)
08:58:56   (exposure complete)
08:58:58   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:59:00  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO put into fits header
08:59:00  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:59:00 Focus postion= 3533
08:59:00   Image finished
08:59:00   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:59:01   599 image stars found
08:59:02   310 catalog stars found
08:59:03   Solved! 94 stars matched.
08:59:03   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
08:59:03   Pointing error is 1.777 arcmin @ angle 251.20
08:59:03   True focal length is 3463.5 mm.
08:59:03   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.90
08:59:03   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 21.6s   52° 57' 54.11"
08:59:03   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
08:59:03   [sync] pointing model updated
08:59:03   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:59:03   Target is now centered.
08:59:03   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:59:03   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:59:03   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
08:59:03   Focus change of -360 steps required
08:59:07   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:59:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.0756 Y=457.1883
08:59:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:59:20 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:59:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.067 Y=608.0923
08:59:33   (guide star SNR=37.0 X=1326 Y=608)
08:59:33   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:59:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:59:38 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:59:38 **Autoguiding failed.
