08:35:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:35:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:35:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:35:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:35:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:35:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:35:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:35:07 Dome is MaxDome
08:35:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:35:07 Imager is ASCOM
08:35:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:35:07 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250524@083322 UTC
08:35:07 Imager readout modes:
08:35:07   0 is Fast
08:35:07   1 is Normal
08:35:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:35:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:35:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:35:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:35:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:35:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:35:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:35:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:35:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:35:15 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
08:35:15 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
08:35:15   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
08:35:15   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:35:15 Pointing updates are enabled
08:35:15 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

08:36:11   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:36:11   Focus change of -50 steps required
08:36:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:36:14   (using Fast readout mode)
08:36:14   (starting exposure)
08:36:34   (exposure complete)
08:36:36   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:36:36   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9.4
08:36:37   Focuser position = 3384
08:36:37   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.2
08:36:37   Image finished
08:36:37   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:36:38   248 image stars found
08:36:38   310 catalog stars found
08:36:39   Solved! 79 stars matched.
08:36:39   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
08:36:39   Pointing error is 3.150 arcmin @ angle 284.34
08:36:39   True focal length is 3469.8 mm.
08:36:39   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:36:39   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 12.5s   52° 59' 15.20"
08:36:39   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
08:36:39   [sync] pointing model updated
08:36:39   Re-slew to target.
08:36:39   Start slew to CG_Dra...
08:36:41   (wait for slew to complete)
08:36:51   (slew complete)
08:36:51   Target is now centered.
08:36:51   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:36:51   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:36:51   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
08:36:51   Focus change of -360 steps required
08:36:55   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:37:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.5442 Y=459.0189
08:37:07 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:37:07 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:37:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.109 Y=608.1708
08:37:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:37:21 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:37:21 **Autoguiding failed.
