10:11:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:11:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:11:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:11:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:11:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:11:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:11:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:11:31 Dome is MaxDome
10:11:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:11:31 Imager is ASCOM
10:11:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:11:31 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250524@100813 UTC
10:11:31 Imager readout modes:
10:11:31   0 is Fast
10:11:31   1 is Normal
10:11:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:11:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:11:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:11:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:11:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:11:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:11:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:11:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:11:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:11:39 ==== Starting target MN84 ====
10:11:39 ACPS Observation MN84(1 of 1)
10:11:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan MN84)
10:11:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:11:39 Pointing updates are enabled
10:11:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:11:39   Start slew to MN84...
10:11:40   (wait for slew to complete)
10:12:21   (slew complete)
10:12:21     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=1906s GW=T HAz=2506s DWz=T WF=no]
10:12:21   Updating pointing...
10:12:21   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:12:21   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:12:25   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:12:25   (using Fast readout mode)
10:12:25   (starting exposure)
10:12:49   (exposure complete)
10:12:51   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:12:51   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9.6
10:12:53   Focuser position = 3366
10:12:53   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.3
10:12:53   Image finished
10:12:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:12:54   3248 image stars found
10:12:54   221 catalog stars found
10:12:55   Solved! 120 stars matched.
10:12:55   Average residual is 0.18 arcsec.
10:12:55   Pointing error is 0.118 arcmin @ angle 219.21
10:12:55   True focal length is 3469.3 mm.
10:12:55   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:12:55   True image center (J2000): 18h 41m 29.3s   -05° 15' 46.17"
10:12:55   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:12:55   [sync] pointing model updated
10:12:55   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:12:55   Target is now centered.
10:12:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:12:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:12:55   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:12:55   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:12:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:13:12   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.2115 Y=459.1075
10:13:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:13:13 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:13:26   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.977 Y=607.9504
10:13:27 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:13:27 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:13:27 **Autoguiding failed.
