08:26:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:26:31 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:26:31   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:26:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:26:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:26:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:26:32 User actions detected.
08:26:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:26:32 Dome is MaxDome
08:26:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:26:32 Imager is ASCOM
08:26:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:26:32 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250207@082557 UTC
08:26:32 Imager readout modes:
08:26:32   0 is Fast
08:26:32   1 is Normal
08:26:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:26:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:26:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:26:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:26:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:26:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:26:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:26:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:26:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:26:39 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
08:26:39 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
08:26:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
08:26:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:26:40 Pointing updates are enabled
08:26:40 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:26:40   Start slew to U_Leo...
08:26:41   (wait for slew to complete)

08:27:17   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:27:17   Focus change of -270 steps required
08:27:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:27:20   (using Fast readout mode)
08:27:20   (starting exposure)

08:27:47   Image finished
08:27:47   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:27:48   227 image stars found
08:27:48   150 catalog stars found
08:27:49   Solved! 47 stars matched.
08:27:49   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
08:27:49   Pointing error is 0.366 arcmin @ angle 32.58
08:27:49   True focal length is 3466.6 mm.
08:27:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:27:49   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 04.6s   14° 00' 44.52"
08:27:49   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:27:49   [sync] pointing model updated
08:27:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:27:49   Target is now centered.
08:27:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:27:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:27:49   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:27:49   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:27:53   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:28:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.255 Y=607.991
08:28:08 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:28:08 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:28:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=727.8304 Y=568.9505
08:28:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:28:21 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:28:21 **Autoguiding failed.
