10:45:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:45:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:45:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:45:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:45:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:45:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:45:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:45:42 Dome is MaxDome
10:45:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:45:42 Imager is ASCOM
10:45:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:45:42 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250524@104310 UTC
10:45:42 Imager readout modes:
10:45:42   0 is Fast
10:45:42   1 is Normal
10:45:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:45:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:45:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:45:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:45:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:45:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:45:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:45:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:45:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:45:50 ==== Starting target V1343_Aql ====
10:45:50 ACPS Observation V1343_Aql(1 of 1)
10:45:50   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan V1343_Aql)
10:45:50   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:45:50 Pointing updates are enabled
10:45:50 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:45:50   Start slew to V1343_Aql...
10:45:52   (wait for slew to complete)
10:46:29   (slew complete)

10:46:29   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:46:29   Focus change of 20 steps required
10:46:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:46:31   (using Fast readout mode)
10:46:31   (starting exposure)
10:46:46   (exposure complete)
10:46:48   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:46:48   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9
10:46:49   Focuser position = 3366
10:46:49   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 20.9
10:46:49   Image finished
10:46:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:46:50   1032 image stars found
10:46:50   323 catalog stars found
10:46:51   Solved! 122 stars matched.
10:46:52   Average residual is 0.24 arcsec.
10:46:52   Pointing error is 0.238 arcmin @ angle 64.06
10:46:52   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
10:46:52   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:46:52   True image center (J2000): 19h 11m 50.4s   04° 59' 04.04"
10:46:52   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:46:52   [sync] pointing model updated
10:46:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:46:52   Target is now centered.
10:46:52   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:46:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:46:52   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
10:46:52   Focus change of 290 steps required
10:46:56   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:47:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1312.724 Y=947.1247
10:47:10   (guide star SNR=10.7 X=1313 Y=947)
10:47:10   (first exposure estimate 1.4 sec)

10:47:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=850 Y=58
10:47:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:47:28 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:47:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.776 Y=608.0189
10:47:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:47:42 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:47:42 **Autoguiding failed.
