03:41:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:41:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:41:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:41:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:41:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:41:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:41:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:41:48 Dome is MaxDome
03:41:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:41:48 Imager is ASCOM
03:41:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:41:48 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250527@034112 UTC
03:41:48 Imager readout modes:
03:41:48   0 is Fast
03:41:48   1 is Normal
03:41:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:41:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:41:48 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:41:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:41:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:41:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:41:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:41:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:41:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:41:57 ==== Starting target Pal_5 ====
03:41:57 ACPS Observation Pal_5(1 of 1)
03:41:57   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan Pal_5)
03:41:57   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:41:57 Pointing updates are enabled

03:42:45   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:42:45   Focus change of -270 steps required
03:42:49   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:42:49   (using Fast readout mode)
03:42:49   (starting exposure)
03:43:10   (exposure complete)
03:43:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:43:13   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.8
03:43:14   Focuser position = 3324
03:43:14   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.1
03:43:14   Image finished
03:43:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:43:15   351 image stars found
03:43:15   175 catalog stars found
03:43:16   Solved! 65 stars matched.
03:43:16   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
03:43:16   Pointing error is 2.637 arcmin @ angle 277.30
03:43:16   True focal length is 3466.6 mm.
03:43:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:43:17   True image center (J2000): 15h 15m 54.8s   -00° 06' 21.69"
03:43:17   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:43:17   [sync] pointing model updated
03:43:17   Re-slew to target.
03:43:17   Start slew to Pal_5...
03:43:20   (wait for slew to complete)
03:43:35   (slew complete)
03:43:35   Target is now centered.
03:43:35   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:43:35   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:43:35   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:43:35   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:43:38   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:43:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1359.095 Y=471.2244
03:43:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:43:48 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:44:01   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.664 Y=607.8442
03:44:02 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:44:02 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:44:02 **Autoguiding failed.
