08:15:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:15:08 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:15:08   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:15:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:15:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:15:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:15:09 User actions detected.
08:15:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:15:09 Dome is MaxDome
08:15:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:15:09 Imager is ASCOM
08:15:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:15:09 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250124@081212 UTC
08:15:09 Imager readout modes:
08:15:09   0 is Fast
08:15:09   1 is Normal
08:15:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:15:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:15:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:15:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:15:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:15:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:15:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:15:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:15:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:15:16 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
08:15:16 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
08:15:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)

08:15:58   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:15:58   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:16:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:16:01   (using Fast readout mode)
08:16:01   (starting exposure)

08:16:21   150 catalog stars found
08:16:22   Solved! 47 stars matched.
08:16:22   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
08:16:22   Pointing error is 2.230 arcmin @ angle 276.89
08:16:22   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
08:16:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

08:16:22   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
08:16:22   [sync] pointing model updated
08:16:22   Re-slew to target.
08:16:22   Start slew to U_Leo...
08:16:24   (wait for slew to complete)
08:16:33   (slew complete)
08:16:33   Target is now centered.
08:16:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:16:33   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:16:33   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:16:33   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:16:37   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:16:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723 Y=913
08:16:51 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:16:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:17:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=61.95798 Y=98.16537
08:17:05   (guide star SNR=3.9 X=62 Y=98)
08:17:05   (first exposure estimate 7.67 sec)
08:17:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:17:17 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:17:17 **Autoguiding failed.
