Licensed to Arne Henden
10:45:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:45:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:45:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:45:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:45:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:45:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:45:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:45:06 Dome is MaxDome
10:45:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:45:06 Imager is ASCOM
10:45:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:45:06 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@104356 UTC
10:45:06 Imager readout modes:
10:45:06   0 is Fast
10:45:06   1 is Normal
10:45:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:45:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:45:06 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:45:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:45:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:45:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:45:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:45:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:45:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:45:13 ==== Starting target KK_Cas ====
10:45:13 ACPS Observation KK_Cas(1 of 1)
10:45:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_DCEP_HQA_AUTO_ver5104, Plan KK_Cas)
10:45:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:45:14 Pointing updates are enabled
10:45:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:45:14   Start slew to KK_Cas...
10:45:15   (wait for slew to complete)
10:45:29   (slew complete)
10:45:29   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
10:45:29     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-11760s GW=T HAz=-11340s DWz=T WF=no]
10:45:29   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:45:29   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:45:29   Switching from B to SI filter for imaging
10:45:29   Focus change of -340 steps required
10:45:34   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
10:45:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.0988 Y=459.3915
10:45:51 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:45:52 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
10:46:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.124 Y=608.2039
10:46:05   (guide star SNR=14.4 X=1326 Y=608)
10:46:05   (first exposure estimate 2.09 sec)
10:46:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
10:46:12 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
10:46:12 **Autoguiding failed.
