09:05:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:05:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:05:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:05:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:05:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:05:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:05:33 User actions detected.
09:05:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:05:33 Dome is MaxDome
09:05:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:05:33 Imager is ASCOM
09:05:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:05:33 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240714@090416 UTC
09:05:33 Imager readout modes:
09:05:33   0 is Fast
09:05:33   1 is Normal
09:05:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:05:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:05:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:05:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:05:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:05:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:05:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:05:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:05:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:05:33 ==== Starting target V2492_Cyg ====
09:05:33 ACPS Observation V2492_Cyg(1 of 1)
09:05:33   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V2492_Cyg)
09:05:33   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:05:33 Pointing updates are enabled
09:05:33 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:05:33   Start slew to V2492_Cyg...
09:05:35   (wait for slew to complete)
09:06:10   (slew complete)
09:06:10   Calling TargetStart user action.

09:06:10   Updating pointing...
09:06:10   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:06:10   Focus change of 20 steps required
09:06:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:06:13   (using Fast readout mode)
09:06:13   (starting exposure)
09:06:28   (exposure complete)
09:06:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:06:33  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
09:06:33  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:06:34 Focus postion= 3533
09:06:34   Image finished
09:06:34   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:06:34   471 image stars found
09:06:34   200 catalog stars found
09:06:35   Solved! 82 stars matched.
09:06:35   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
09:06:35   Pointing error is 1.771 arcmin @ angle 247.90
09:06:35   True focal length is 3466.0 mm.
09:06:35   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:06:35   True image center (J2000): 20h 51m 17.1s   44° 04' 43.89"
09:06:35   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
09:06:36   [sync] pointing model updated
09:06:36   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:06:36   Target is now centered.
09:06:36   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:06:36   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:06:36   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
09:06:36   Focus change of -20 steps required
09:06:38   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:06:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.9851 Y=347.1418
09:06:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:06:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:07:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.119 Y=608.2471
09:07:06   (guide star SNR=39.2 X=1326 Y=608)
09:07:07   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:07:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:07:12 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:07:12 **Autoguiding failed.
