10:11:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:11:40 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:11:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:11:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:11:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:11:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:11:41 Dome is MaxDome
10:11:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:11:41 Imager is ASCOM
10:11:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:11:41 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250605@100844 UTC
10:11:41 Imager readout modes:
10:11:41   0 is Fast
10:11:41   1 is Normal
10:11:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:11:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:11:41 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:11:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:11:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:11:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:11:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:11:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:11:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:11:49 ==== Starting target AE_And ====
10:11:49 ACPS Observation AE_And(1 of 1)
10:11:49   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AE_And)
10:11:49   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:11:49 Pointing updates are enabled
10:11:49 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:11:49   Start slew to AE_And...
10:11:51   (wait for slew to complete)

10:13:01   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:13:01   Focus change of 20 steps required
10:13:03   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:13:03   (using Fast readout mode)
10:13:03   (starting exposure)
10:13:17   (exposure complete)

10:13:21   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 20.8
10:13:21   Image finished
10:13:21   Plate-solve pointing image.

10:13:22   297 catalog stars found
10:13:23   Solved! 124 stars matched.
10:13:23   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
10:13:23   Pointing error is 0.971 arcmin @ angle 40.27
10:13:23   True focal length is 3464.8 mm.
10:13:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:13:23   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 05.9s   41° 49' 56.63"
10:13:23   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
10:13:23   [sync] pointing model updated
10:13:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:13:23   Target is now centered.
10:13:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:13:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:13:23   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:13:23   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:13:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:13:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=344.1524 Y=140.0127
10:13:41   (guide star SNR=8.4 X=345 Y=140)
10:13:41   (first exposure estimate 1.78 sec)

10:14:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
10:14:10 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:14:10 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:14:23   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.804 Y=608.0256
10:14:23 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:14:24 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:14:24 **Autoguiding failed.
