07:17:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:17:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:17:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:17:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:17:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:17:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:17:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:17:11 Dome is MaxDome
07:17:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:17:11 Imager is ASCOM
07:17:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:17:11 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250605@071643 UTC
07:17:11 Imager readout modes:
07:17:11   0 is Fast
07:17:11   1 is Normal
07:17:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:17:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:17:11 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:17:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:17:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:17:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:17:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:17:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:17:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:17:19 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
07:17:19 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
07:17:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan HS1340+1524)
07:17:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:17:19 Pointing updates are enabled
07:17:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:17:19   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
07:17:20   (wait for slew to complete)
07:19:06   (slew complete)

07:19:06   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:19:06   Focus change of 20 steps required
07:19:09   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:19:09   (using Fast readout mode)
07:19:09   (starting exposure)
07:19:23   (exposure complete)
07:19:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:19:26   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.3
07:19:27   Focuser position = 3338
07:19:27   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.9
07:19:27   Image finished
07:19:27   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:19:27   193 image stars found
07:19:27   113 catalog stars found
07:19:28   Solved! 32 stars matched.
07:19:28   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
07:19:28   Pointing error is 1.115 arcmin @ angle 18.61
07:19:28   True focal length is 3471.9 mm.
07:19:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:19:28   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 24.9s   15° 10' 19.39"
07:19:28   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:19:28   [sync] pointing model updated
07:19:28   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:19:28   Target is now centered.
07:19:28   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:19:28   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:19:29   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:19:29   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:19:33   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:19:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=859 Y=831.3503
07:19:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:19:47 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:20:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.868 Y=608.0203
07:20:01   (guide star SNR=18.9 X=1326 Y=608)
07:20:01   (first exposure estimate 1.59 sec)
07:20:06 **No stars at all found in guider image
07:20:06 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:20:06 **Autoguiding failed.
