03:14:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:14:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:14:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:14:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:14:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:14:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:14:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:14:59 Dome is MaxDome
03:14:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:14:59 Imager is ASCOM
03:14:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:14:59 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250527@030839 UTC
03:14:59 Imager readout modes:
03:14:59   0 is Fast
03:14:59   1 is Normal
03:14:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:14:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:14:59 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:14:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:14:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:15:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:15:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:15:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:15:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:15:07 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
03:15:07 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
03:15:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver5104, Plan KN_Lyn)
03:15:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:15:07 Pointing updates are enabled
03:15:07 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:15:07   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
03:15:09   (wait for slew to complete)
03:15:55   (slew complete)

03:15:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:15:55   (using Fast readout mode)
03:15:55   (starting exposure)
03:16:08   (exposure complete)
03:16:10   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:16:10   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.7
03:16:12   Focuser position = 3324
03:16:12   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.7
03:16:12   Image finished
03:16:12   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:16:12   267 image stars found
03:16:13   252 catalog stars found
03:16:14   Solved! 95 stars matched.
03:16:14   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
03:16:14   Pointing error is 1.231 arcmin @ angle 355.91
03:16:14   True focal length is 3467.0 mm.
03:16:14   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:16:14   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 35.9s   47° 51' 56.20"
03:16:14   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:16:14   [sync] pointing model updated
03:16:14   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:16:14   Target is now centered.
03:16:14   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:16:14   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:16:14   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:16:14   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:16:17   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:16:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=143.4298 Y=98.66895
03:16:27   (guide star SNR=6.6 X=143 Y=99)

03:17:01   (guide star SNR=29.0 X=1326 Y=608)
03:17:01   (first exposure estimate 1.03 sec)
03:17:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:17:06 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:17:06 **Autoguiding failed.
