03:13:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:13:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:13:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:13:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:13:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:13:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:13:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:13:20 Dome is MaxDome
03:13:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:13:20 Imager is ASCOM
03:13:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:13:20 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250524@030605 UTC
03:13:20 Imager readout modes:
03:13:20   0 is Fast
03:13:20   1 is Normal
03:13:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:13:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:13:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:13:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:13:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:13:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:13:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:13:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:13:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:13:28 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
03:13:28 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
03:13:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver5104, Plan KN_Lyn)
03:13:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:13:28 Pointing updates are enabled
03:13:28 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:13:28   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
03:13:30   (wait for slew to complete)
03:14:09   (slew complete)

03:14:09   Updating pointing...
03:14:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:14:09   (using Fast readout mode)
03:14:09   (starting exposure)
03:14:22   (exposure complete)
03:14:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:14:25   Camera temp (deg.C) = -3.7
03:14:26   Focuser position = 3300
03:14:26   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 26.7
03:14:26   Image finished
03:14:26   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:14:26   191 image stars found
03:14:27   252 catalog stars found
03:14:28   Solved! 88 stars matched.
03:14:28   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
03:14:28   Pointing error is 1.144 arcmin @ angle 325.18
03:14:28   True focal length is 3466.1 mm.
03:14:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:14:28   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 32.5s   47° 51' 38.82"
03:14:28   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
03:14:28   [sync] pointing model updated
03:14:28   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:14:28   Target is now centered.
03:14:28   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:14:28   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:14:28   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:14:28   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:14:31   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:14:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.702 Y=607.9917
03:14:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:14:41 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:14:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.017 Y=608.0014
03:14:54   (guide star SNR=55.8 X=1326 Y=608)
03:14:54   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
03:14:59 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:15:00 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:15:00 **Autoguiding failed.
