09:29:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:29:50 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:29:50   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:29:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:29:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:29:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:29:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:29:51 Dome is MaxDome
09:29:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:29:51 Imager is ASCOM
09:29:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:29:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@092915 UTC
09:29:51 Imager readout modes:
09:29:51   0 is Fast
09:29:51   1 is Normal
09:29:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:29:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:29:51 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:29:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:29:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:29:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:29:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:29:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:29:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:29:59 ==== Starting target KU_Cyg ====
09:29:59 ACPS Observation KU_Cyg(1 of 1)
09:29:59   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan KU_Cyg)
09:29:59   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:29:59 Pointing updates are enabled
09:29:59 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:29:59   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
09:30:01   (wait for slew to complete)
09:30:43   (slew complete)

09:30:43   Updating pointing...
09:30:43   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:30:43   Focus change of -290 steps required
09:30:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:30:47   (using Fast readout mode)
09:30:47   (starting exposure)
09:31:10   (exposure complete)
09:31:12   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:31:12   Camera temp (deg.C) = -8.9
09:31:14   Focuser position = 3376
09:31:14   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 21.1
09:31:14   Image finished
09:31:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:31:14   2232 image stars found
09:31:14   407 catalog stars found
09:31:16   Solved! 170 stars matched.
09:31:16   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
09:31:16   Pointing error is 1.321 arcmin @ angle 79.59
09:31:16   True focal length is 3466.6 mm.
09:31:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:31:16   True image center (J2000): 20h 12m 52.8s   47° 23' 55.70"
09:31:16   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
09:31:16   [sync] pointing model updated
09:31:16   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:31:16   Target is now centered.
09:31:16   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:31:16   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
09:31:16   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
09:31:16   Focus change of -20 steps required
09:31:18   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:31:32   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1026.981 Y=945.0804
09:31:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:31:33 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:31:46   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.932 Y=608.0751
09:31:47 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:31:47 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:31:47 **Autoguiding failed.
