10:07:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:07:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:07:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:07:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:07:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:07:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:07:38 User actions detected.
10:07:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:07:38 Dome is MaxDome
10:07:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:07:38 Imager is ASCOM
10:07:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:07:38 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240726@100147 UTC
10:07:38 Imager readout modes:
10:07:38   0 is Fast
10:07:38   1 is Normal
10:07:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:07:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:07:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:07:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:07:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:07:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:07:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:07:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:07:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:07:38 ==== Starting target V1112_Per ====
10:07:38 ACPS Observation V1112_Per(1 of 1)
10:07:38   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P167_HGUA_AUTO_ver2706, Plan V1112_Per)
10:07:38   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:07:38 Pointing updates are enabled
10:07:38 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:07:38   Start slew to V1112_Per...
10:07:40   (wait for slew to complete)
10:09:21   (slew complete)
10:09:21   Calling TargetStart user action.

10:09:21   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:09:21   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:09:24   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:09:25   (using Fast readout mode)
10:09:25   (starting exposure)
10:09:48   (exposure complete)
10:09:50   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:09:52  PROJNAME=AAVSO_P167_HGUA_AUTO put into fits header
10:09:53  CCD-TPWR=100 put into fits header
10:09:53 Focus postion= 3276
10:09:53   Image finished
10:09:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:09:54   805 image stars found
10:09:54   424 catalog stars found
10:09:56   Solved! 135 stars matched.
10:09:56   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
10:09:56   Pointing error is 1.909 arcmin @ angle 81.26
10:09:56   True focal length is 3465.2 mm.
10:09:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:09:56   True image center (J2000): 04h 29m 29.3s   43° 54' 40.37"
10:09:56   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
10:09:56   [sync] pointing model updated
10:09:56   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:09:56   Target is now centered.
10:09:56   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:09:56   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:09:56   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:09:56   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:10:00   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:10:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=707.9317 Y=456.9746
10:10:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:10:13 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:10:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.861 Y=607.8504
10:10:27   (guide star SNR=36.1 X=1326 Y=608)
10:10:27   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
10:10:32 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:10:32 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:10:32 **Autoguiding failed.
