07:48:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:48:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:48:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:48:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:48:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:48:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:48:45 User actions detected.
07:48:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:48:45 Dome is MaxDome
07:48:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:48:45 Imager is ASCOM
07:48:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:48:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240714@074709 UTC
07:48:45 Imager readout modes:
07:48:45   0 is Fast
07:48:45   1 is Normal
07:48:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:48:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:48:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:48:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:48:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:48:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:48:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:48:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:48:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:48:45 ==== Starting target V0704_And ====
07:48:45 ACPS Observation V0704_And(1 of 1)
07:48:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P253_CDAG_AUTO_ver3388, Plan V0704_And)
07:48:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:48:46 Pointing updates are enabled
07:48:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:48:46   Start slew to V0704_And...
07:48:47   (wait for slew to complete)
07:49:59   (slew complete)

07:49:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:49:59   (using Fast readout mode)
07:49:59   (starting exposure)

07:50:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:50:16  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P253_CDAG_AUTO put into fits header

07:50:16 Focus postion= 3550
07:50:16   Image finished
07:50:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:50:17   578 image stars found
07:50:17   238 catalog stars found
07:50:18   Solved! 73 stars matched.
07:50:18   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
07:50:18   Pointing error is 1.967 arcmin @ angle 236.74
07:50:18   True focal length is 3465.1 mm.
07:50:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:50:18   True image center (J2000): 23h 44m 48.4s   43° 30' 17.57"
07:50:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:50:18   [sync] pointing model updated
07:50:18   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:50:18   Target is now centered.
07:50:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:50:18   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:50:18   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
07:50:18   Focus change of 320 steps required
07:50:23   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:50:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.7816 Y=458.9721
07:50:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:50:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:50:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1329.249 Y=609.1964
07:50:49   (guide star SNR=39.4 X=1326 Y=608)
07:50:50   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:50:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:50:55 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:50:55 **Autoguiding failed.
