10:17:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:17:01 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:17:01   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:17:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:17:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:17:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:17:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:17:02 Dome is MaxDome
10:17:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:17:02 Imager is ASCOM
10:17:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:17:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@101630 UTC
10:17:02 Imager readout modes:
10:17:02   0 is Fast
10:17:02   1 is Normal
10:17:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:17:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:17:02 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:17:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:17:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:17:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:17:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:17:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:17:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:17:09 ==== Starting target AF_And ====
10:17:10 ACPS Observation AF_And(1 of 1)
10:17:10   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AF_And)
10:17:10   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:17:10 Pointing updates are enabled
10:17:10 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:17:10   Start slew to AF_And...
10:17:11   (wait for slew to complete)
10:17:40   (slew complete)

10:17:40   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:17:40   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:17:44   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:17:44   (using Fast readout mode)
10:17:44   (starting exposure)
10:18:07   (exposure complete)
10:18:09   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:18:10   Camera temp (deg.C) = -9
10:18:11   Focuser position = 3376
10:18:11   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 20.9
10:18:11   Image finished
10:18:11   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:18:11   765 image stars found
10:18:11   240 catalog stars found
10:18:12   Solved! 110 stars matched.
10:18:13   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
10:18:13   Pointing error is 1.032 arcmin @ angle 48.03
10:18:13   True focal length is 3468.3 mm.
10:18:13   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:18:13   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 37.2s   41° 12' 51.70"
10:18:13   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
10:18:13   [sync] pointing model updated
10:18:13   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:18:13   Target is now centered.
10:18:13   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:18:13   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:18:13   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:18:13   Focus change of 320 steps required
10:18:17   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:18:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=707.9399 Y=457.1064
10:18:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:18:30 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:18:43   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.999 Y=608.1443
10:18:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:18:44 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
10:18:44 **Autoguiding failed.
