03:47:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:47:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:47:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:47:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:48:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:48:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:48:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:48:00 Dome is MaxDome
03:48:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:48:00 Imager is ASCOM
03:48:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:48:00 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250604@034636 UTC
03:48:00 Imager readout modes:
03:48:00   0 is Fast
03:48:00   1 is Normal
03:48:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:48:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:48:00 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:48:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:48:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:48:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:48:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:48:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:48:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:48:08 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
03:48:08 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
03:48:08   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
03:48:08   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:48:08 Pointing updates are enabled
03:48:08 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:48:08   Start slew to IX_Dra...
03:48:09   (wait for slew to complete)
03:49:09   (slew complete)

03:49:09   Updating pointing...
03:49:09   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:49:09   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:49:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:49:13   (using Fast readout mode)
03:49:13   (starting exposure)
03:49:35   (exposure complete)
03:49:38   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:49:38   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.6
03:49:40   Focuser position = 3347
03:49:40   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.7
03:49:40   Image finished
03:49:40   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:49:40   475 image stars found
03:49:40   307 catalog stars found
03:49:42   Solved! 100 stars matched.
03:49:42   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:49:42   Pointing error is 1.828 arcmin @ angle 37.02
03:49:42   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
03:49:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:49:42   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 42.8s   67° 06' 13.35"
03:49:42   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
03:49:42   [sync] pointing model updated
03:49:42   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:49:42   Target is now centered.
03:49:42   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:49:42   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:49:42   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:49:42   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:49:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:49:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.106 Y=608.0001
03:50:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:50:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:50:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.971 Y=608.0395
03:50:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:50:13 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:50:13 **Autoguiding failed.
