06:08:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:08:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:08:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:08:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:08:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:08:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:08:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:08:05 Dome is MaxDome
06:08:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:08:05 Imager is ASCOM
06:08:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:08:05 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@060723 UTC
06:08:05 Imager readout modes:
06:08:05   0 is Fast
06:08:05   1 is Normal
06:08:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:08:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:08:05 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:08:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:08:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:08:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:08:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:08:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:08:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:08:12 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
06:08:12 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
06:08:12   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
06:08:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:08:13 Pointing updates are enabled
06:08:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:08:13   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
06:08:14   (wait for slew to complete)
06:09:24   (slew complete)

06:09:24   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:09:24   Focus change of -290 steps required
06:09:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:09:28   (using Fast readout mode)
06:09:28   (starting exposure)
06:09:50   (exposure complete)
06:09:52   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:09:52   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.3
06:09:53   Focuser position = 3331
06:09:53   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.5
06:09:53   Image finished
06:09:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:09:54   196 image stars found
06:09:54   113 catalog stars found
06:09:55   Solved! 37 stars matched.
06:09:55   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
06:09:55   Pointing error is 1.269 arcmin @ angle 57.37
06:09:55   True focal length is 3468.6 mm.
06:09:55   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:09:55   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 27.8s   15° 09' 57.06"
06:09:55   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:09:55   [sync] pointing model updated
06:09:55   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:09:55   Target is now centered.
06:09:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:09:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:09:55   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:09:55   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:10:00   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:10:13   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1078.988 Y=667.158
06:10:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:10:14 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:10:27   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.044 Y=608.017
06:10:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:10:28 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:10:28 **Autoguiding failed.
