09:12:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:12:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:12:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:12:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:12:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:12:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:12:06 User actions detected.
09:12:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:12:06 Dome is MaxDome
09:12:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:12:06 Imager is ASCOM
09:12:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:12:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240726@091111 UTC
09:12:06 Imager readout modes:
09:12:06   0 is Fast
09:12:06   1 is Normal
09:12:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:12:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:12:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:12:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:12:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:12:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:12:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:12:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:12:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:12:06 ==== Starting target CSS_J212625 ====
09:12:06 ACPS Observation CSS_J212625(1 of 1)
09:12:06   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan CSS_J212625)
09:12:06   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:12:06 Pointing updates are enabled
09:12:06 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

09:12:43   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:12:43   Focus change of -320 steps required
09:12:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:12:47   (using Fast readout mode)
09:12:47   (starting exposure)

09:13:16   678 image stars found
09:13:16   156 catalog stars found
09:13:17   Solved! 63 stars matched.
09:13:17   Average residual is 0.24 arcsec.
09:13:17   Pointing error is 1.874 arcmin @ angle 91.82
09:13:17   True focal length is 3470.2 mm.
09:13:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:13:17   True image center (J2000): 21h 25m 33.1s   20° 19' 42.82"
09:13:17   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
09:13:17   [sync] pointing model updated
09:13:17   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:13:17   Target is now centered.
09:13:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:13:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:13:17   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:13:17   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:13:21   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:13:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.6795 Y=459.1048
09:13:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:13:35 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:13:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.84 Y=608.0542
09:13:48   (guide star SNR=30.9 X=1326 Y=608)
09:13:48   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:13:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:13:53 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:13:53 **Autoguiding failed.
