08:08:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:08:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:08:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:08:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:08:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:08:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:08:08 User actions detected.
08:08:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:08:08 Dome is MaxDome
08:08:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:08:08 Imager is ASCOM
08:08:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:08:08 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240714@080727 UTC
08:08:08 Imager readout modes:
08:08:08   0 is Fast
08:08:08   1 is Normal
08:08:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:08:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:08:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:08:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:08:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:08:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:08:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:08:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:08:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:08:08 ==== Starting target FY_Aql ====
08:08:08 ACPS Observation FY_Aql(1 of 1)
08:08:08   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO_ver2413, Plan FY_Aql)
08:08:08   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:08:08 Pointing updates are enabled
08:08:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:08:08   Start slew to FY_Aql...
08:08:10   (wait for slew to complete)

08:08:58   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:08:58   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:09:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:09:01   (using Fast readout mode)
08:09:01   (starting exposure)
08:09:24   (exposure complete)
08:09:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:09:29  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P192_SFRA_AUTO put into fits header
08:09:29  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
08:09:29 Focus postion= 3533
08:09:29   Image finished
08:09:29   Plate-solve pointing image.

08:09:30   973 catalog stars found
08:09:32   Solved! 144 stars matched.
08:09:33   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
08:09:33   Pointing error is 3.356 arcmin @ angle 253.95
08:09:33   True focal length is 3466.0 mm.
08:09:33   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:09:33   True image center (J2000): 19h 27m 47.9s   03° 41' 02.81"

08:09:33   [sync] pointing model updated
08:09:33   Re-slew to target.
08:09:33   Start slew to FY_Aql...
08:09:34   (wait for slew to complete)
08:09:44   (slew complete)
08:09:44   Target is now centered.
08:09:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:09:44   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:09:44   Switching from SR to SZ filter for imaging
08:09:44   Focus change of -50 steps required
08:09:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:09:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.172 Y=945.347
08:09:59 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:10:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:10:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.206 Y=607.5672
08:10:13   (guide star SNR=28.3 X=1326 Y=608)
08:10:13   (first exposure estimate 1.06 sec)
08:10:18 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:10:18 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:10:18 **Autoguiding failed.
