09:08:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:08:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:08:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:08:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:08:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:08:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:08:30 User actions detected.
09:08:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:08:30 Dome is MaxDome
09:08:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:08:30 Imager is ASCOM
09:08:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:08:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240726@090417 UTC
09:08:30 Imager readout modes:
09:08:30   0 is Fast
09:08:30   1 is Normal
09:08:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:08:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:08:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:08:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:08:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:08:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:08:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:08:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:08:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:08:30 ==== Starting target KU_Cyg ====
09:08:30 ACPS Observation KU_Cyg(1 of 1)
09:08:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KU_Cyg)
09:08:30   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:08:31 Pointing updates are enabled

09:08:53   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:08:53   (using Fast readout mode)
09:08:53   (starting exposure)
09:09:06   (exposure complete)
09:09:09   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:09:11  PROJNAME=AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO put into fits header
09:09:11  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
09:09:11 Focus postion= 3276
09:09:11   Image finished
09:09:11   Plate-solve pointing image.

09:09:12   407 catalog stars found
09:09:13   Solved! 162 stars matched.
09:09:13   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
09:09:13   Pointing error is 4.982 arcmin @ angle 89.49
09:09:13   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
09:09:13   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

09:09:13   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
09:09:13   [sync] pointing model updated
09:09:13   Re-slew to target.
09:09:13   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
09:09:16   (wait for slew to complete)
09:09:26   (slew complete)
09:09:26   Target is now centered.
09:09:26   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:09:26   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:09:26   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
09:09:26   Focus change of -20 steps required
09:09:28   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:09:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.714 Y=608.0615
09:09:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:09:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:09:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.975 Y=608.0231
09:09:57   (guide star SNR=44.0 X=1326 Y=608)
09:09:57   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
09:10:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:10:01 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:10:01 **Autoguiding failed.
