07:06:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:06:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:06:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:06:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:06:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:06:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:06:48 User actions detected.
07:06:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:06:48 Dome is MaxDome
07:06:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:06:49 Imager is ASCOM
07:06:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:06:49 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@070357 UTC
07:06:49 Imager readout modes:
07:06:49   0 is Fast
07:06:49   1 is Normal
07:06:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:06:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:06:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:06:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:06:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:06:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:06:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:06:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:06:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:06:56 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
07:06:56 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
07:06:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
07:06:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)

07:08:46   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:08:46   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:08:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:08:49   (using Fast readout mode)

07:09:18   Image finished
07:09:18   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:09:18   233 image stars found
07:09:19   151 catalog stars found
07:09:20   Solved! 47 stars matched.
07:09:20   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
07:09:20   Pointing error is 1.744 arcmin @ angle 304.89
07:09:20   True focal length is 3469.9 mm.
07:09:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:09:20   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 26.0s   21° 09' 06.26"
07:09:20   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:09:20   [sync] pointing model updated
07:09:20   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:09:20   Target is now centered.
07:09:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:09:20   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:09:20   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
07:09:20   Focus change of 270 steps required
07:09:24   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:09:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708 Y=457
07:09:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:09:39 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:09:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1286.949 Y=881.9968
07:09:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:09:53 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
