03:23:55 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:23:55 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:23:55   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:23:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:23:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:23:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:23:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:23:56 Dome is MaxDome
03:23:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:23:56 Imager is ASCOM
03:23:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:23:56 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250529@032020 UTC
03:23:56 Imager readout modes:
03:23:56   0 is Fast
03:23:56   1 is Normal
03:23:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:23:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:23:56 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:23:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:23:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:24:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:24:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:24:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:24:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:24:03 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
03:24:03 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
03:24:03   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver5104, Plan KN_Lyn)
03:24:04   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:24:04 Pointing updates are enabled
03:24:04 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:24:04   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
03:24:05   (wait for slew to complete)
03:25:25   (slew complete)

03:25:25   Updating pointing...
03:25:25   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:25:25   (using Fast readout mode)
03:25:25   (starting exposure)
03:25:39   (exposure complete)
03:25:41   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:25:41   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.1
03:25:43   Focuser position = 3347
03:25:43   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 24
03:25:43   Image finished
03:25:43   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:25:44   275 image stars found
03:25:44   252 catalog stars found
03:25:45   Solved! 102 stars matched.
03:25:45   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
03:25:45   Pointing error is 1.508 arcmin @ angle 15.04
03:25:45   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
03:25:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:25:45   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 38.7s   47° 52' 09.86"
03:25:45   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:25:45   [sync] pointing model updated
03:25:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:25:45   Target is now centered.
03:25:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:25:45   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:25:45   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:25:45   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:25:48   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:25:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1052.05 Y=359.0684
03:25:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:25:58 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:26:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0104 Y=459.0612
03:26:12   (guide star SNR=12.5 X=913 Y=459)
03:26:12   (first exposure estimate 2.4 sec)
03:26:18 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:26:18 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:26:18 **Autoguiding failed.
