03:55:55 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:55:55 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:55:55   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:55:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:55:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:55:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:55:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:55:56 Dome is MaxDome
03:55:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:55:56 Imager is ASCOM
03:55:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:55:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250224@035058 UTC
03:55:56 Imager readout modes:
03:55:56   0 is Fast
03:55:56   1 is Normal
03:55:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:55:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:55:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:55:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:55:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:56:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:56:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:56:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:56:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:56:04 ==== Starting target IU_Leo ====
03:56:04 ACPS Observation IU_Leo(1 of 1)
03:56:04   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan IU_Leo)
03:56:04   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:56:04 Pointing updates are enabled
03:56:04 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:56:04   Start slew to IU_Leo...
03:56:06   (wait for slew to complete)

03:56:51   Updating pointing...
03:56:51   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:56:51   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:56:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:56:55   (using Fast readout mode)
03:56:55   (starting exposure)
03:57:20   (exposure complete)
03:57:22   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:57:23   Camera temp (deg.C) = -11.9
03:57:24   Focuser position = 3511
03:57:24   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 13.7
03:57:24   Image finished
03:57:24   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:57:24   200 image stars found
03:57:24   141 catalog stars found
03:57:25   Solved! 40 stars matched.
03:57:25   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
03:57:25   Pointing error is 3.035 arcmin @ angle 272.94
03:57:25   True focal length is 3470.2 mm.
03:57:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:57:25   True image center (J2000): 10h 57m 44.0s   09° 23' 24.33"
03:57:25   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:57:25   [sync] pointing model updated
03:57:25   Re-slew to target.
03:57:25   Start slew to IU_Leo...
03:57:29   (wait for slew to complete)
03:57:39   (slew complete)
03:57:39   Target is now centered.
03:57:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:57:39   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:57:39   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
03:57:39   Focus change of 270 steps required
03:57:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:57:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=686 Y=583.9781
03:57:58 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:57:59 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:58:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326 Y=608.1003
03:58:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:58:12 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:58:12 **Autoguiding failed.
