07:57:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:57:54 Dome is MaxDome
07:57:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

07:57:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:57:54 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240714@075256 UTC
07:57:54 Imager readout modes:
07:57:54   0 is Fast
07:57:54   1 is Normal
07:57:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:57:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:57:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:57:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:57:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:57:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:57:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:57:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:57:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:57:54 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
07:57:54   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
07:57:54   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:57:54 Pointing updates are enabled

07:58:38   Switching from Open to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:58:38   Focus change of 360 steps required
07:58:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:58:43   (using Fast readout mode)

07:59:07   Solved! 114 stars matched.
07:59:07   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
07:59:07   Pointing error is 1.081 arcmin @ angle 203.31
07:59:07   True focal length is 3463.4 mm.
07:59:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:59:07   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
07:59:07   [sync] pointing model updated
07:59:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:59:07   Target is now centered.
07:59:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:59:07   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:59:07   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
07:59:07   Focus change of 50 steps required
07:59:10   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:59:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1048.415 Y=733.7866
07:59:20   (guide star SNR=3.8 X=1048 Y=734)
07:59:21   (first exposure estimate 3.9 sec)
07:59:28   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=1046 Y=732)
07:59:28   (final exposure for guiding 3.97 sec)

07:59:57 **Guider waited for 19.85 sec and never got a measurement
07:59:58   (take guider image at initial interval 3.97 sec)
08:00:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1055.002 Y=222
08:00:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:00:06 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:00:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.721 Y=608
08:00:19   (guide star SNR=23.0 X=1326 Y=608)
08:00:19   (first exposure estimate 1.3 sec)
08:00:24 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:00:24 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:00:24 **Autoguiding failed.
