08:02:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:02:50 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:02:50   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:02:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:02:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:02:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:02:52 User actions detected.
08:02:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:02:52 Dome is MaxDome
08:02:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:02:52 Imager is ASCOM
08:02:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:02:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250115@075711 UTC
08:02:52 Imager readout modes:
08:02:52   0 is Fast
08:02:52   1 is Normal
08:02:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:02:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:02:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:02:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:02:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:02:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:02:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:02:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:02:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:02:59 ==== Starting target BX_Pup ====
08:02:59 ACPS Observation BX_Pup(1 of 1)
08:02:59   (belongs to Project AAVSO_ZCAM_HQA_AUTO_ver3443, Plan BX_Pup)

08:03:56   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:03:56   Focus change of -320 steps required
08:04:00   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:04:00   (using Fast readout mode)

08:04:29   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:04:29   1129 image stars found
08:04:29   405 catalog stars found
08:04:31   Solved! 135 stars matched.
08:04:31   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
08:04:31   Pointing error is 0.626 arcmin @ angle 77.53
08:04:31   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
08:04:31   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:04:31   True image center (J2000): 07h 54m 18.3s   -24° 19' 27.89"
08:04:31   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
08:04:31   [sync] pointing model updated
08:04:31   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:04:31   Target is now centered.
08:04:31   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:04:31   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:04:31   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:04:31   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:04:35   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:04:48   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1312.474 Y=808.57
08:04:49   (guide star SNR=17.0 X=1313 Y=809)
08:04:49   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
08:04:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:04:54 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:04:54 **Autoguiding failed.
