09:02:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:02:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:02:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:02:11 User actions detected.
09:02:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:02:11 Dome is MaxDome
09:02:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:02:11 Imager is ASCOM
09:02:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:02:11 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240714@090144 UTC
09:02:11 Imager readout modes:
09:02:11   0 is Fast
09:02:11   1 is Normal
09:02:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:02:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:02:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:02:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:02:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:02:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:02:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:02:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:02:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:02:11 ACPS Observation NSV_11154(1 of 1)
09:02:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSV_11154)
09:02:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:02:11 Pointing updates are enabled
09:02:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:02:11   Start slew to NSV_11154...
09:02:13   (wait for slew to complete)
09:03:39   (slew complete)
09:03:39   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:03:39   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:03:39   Focus change of -320 steps required
09:03:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:03:43   (using Fast readout mode)
09:03:43   (starting exposure)
09:04:06   (exposure complete)

09:04:12   537 image stars found
09:04:12   352 catalog stars found
09:04:13   Solved! 123 stars matched.
09:04:13   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
09:04:13   Pointing error is 1.542 arcmin @ angle 102.93
09:04:13   True focal length is 3459.4 mm.
09:04:13   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.90
09:04:13   True image center (J2000): 18h 38m 00.1s   47° 23' 02.79"
09:04:13   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
09:04:13   [sync] pointing model updated
09:04:13   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:04:13   Target is now centered.
09:04:13   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:04:13   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:04:13   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
09:04:13   Focus change of -20 steps required
09:04:16   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:04:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=96.01382 Y=841.054
09:04:30   (guide star SNR=14.6 X=96 Y=841)
09:04:30   (first exposure estimate 1.03 sec)
09:04:35   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=95 Y=841)
09:04:35   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
09:04:40   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=94 Y=839)
09:05:00 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
09:05:01   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
09:05:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:05:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:05:07 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:05:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.886 Y=608.0785
09:05:20   (guide star SNR=37.2 X=1326 Y=608)
09:05:20   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:05:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:05:25 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:05:25 **Autoguiding failed.
