03:18:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:18:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:18:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:18:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:18:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:18:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:18:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:18:46 Dome is MaxDome
03:18:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:18:46 Imager is ASCOM
03:18:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:18:46 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250605@031449 UTC
03:18:46 Imager readout modes:
03:18:46   0 is Fast
03:18:46   1 is Normal
03:18:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:18:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:18:46 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:18:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:18:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:18:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:18:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:18:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:18:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:18:53 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
03:18:53 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
03:18:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver5104, Plan KN_Lyn)
03:18:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:18:54 Pointing updates are enabled
03:18:54 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:18:54   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
03:18:55   (wait for slew to complete)
03:19:50   (slew complete)

03:19:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:19:50   (using Fast readout mode)
03:19:50   (starting exposure)
03:20:03   (exposure complete)
03:20:06   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:20:06   Camera temp (deg.C) = -4.5
03:20:07   Focuser position = 3293
03:20:07   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 25.3
03:20:07   Image finished
03:20:07   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:20:08   251 image stars found
03:20:08   252 catalog stars found
03:20:10   Solved! 107 stars matched.
03:20:10   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:20:10   Pointing error is 1.583 arcmin @ angle 26.39
03:20:10   True focal length is 3465.5 mm.
03:20:10   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:20:10   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 40.6s   47° 52' 07.56"
03:20:10   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
03:20:10   [sync] pointing model updated
03:20:10   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:20:10   Target is now centered.
03:20:10   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:20:10   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:20:10   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:20:10   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:20:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:20:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=72.99898 Y=66.00015
03:20:22   (guide star SNR=5.6 X=74 Y=66)
03:20:23   (first exposure estimate 2.66 sec)
03:20:29   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=74 Y=67)
03:20:29   (final exposure for guiding 2.56 sec)
03:20:35   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=74 Y=67)
03:21:02 **Guider waited for 12.8 sec and never got a measurement

03:21:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:21:09 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:21:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.017 Y=607.9976
03:21:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:21:23 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:21:23 **Autoguiding failed.
