07:55:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:55:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:55:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:55:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:55:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:55:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:55:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:55:08 Dome is MaxDome
07:55:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:55:09 Imager is ASCOM
07:55:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:55:09 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250605@074900 UTC
07:55:09 Imager readout modes:
07:55:09   0 is Fast
07:55:09   1 is Normal
07:55:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:55:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:55:09 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:55:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:55:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:55:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:55:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:55:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:55:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:55:16 ==== Starting target MN84 ====
07:55:16 ACPS Observation MN84(1 of 1)
07:55:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan MN84)
07:55:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:55:16 Pointing updates are enabled
07:55:16 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:55:16   Start slew to MN84...
07:55:18   (wait for slew to complete)
07:56:18   (slew complete)
07:56:18     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-3441s GW=T HAz=-2841s DWz=T WF=no]
07:56:18   Updating pointing...
07:56:18   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:56:18   No focus change required
07:56:18   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:56:18   (using Fast readout mode)
07:56:18   (starting exposure)
07:56:36   (exposure complete)
07:56:39   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:56:39   Camera temp (deg.C) = -8
07:56:40   Focuser position = 3338
07:56:40   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.2
07:56:40   Image finished
07:56:40   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:56:41   5046 image stars found
07:56:41   221 catalog stars found
07:56:42   Solved! 145 stars matched.
07:56:42   Average residual is 0.17 arcsec.
07:56:42   Pointing error is 1.685 arcmin @ angle 88.99
07:56:42   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
07:56:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:56:42   True image center (J2000): 18h 41m 36.4s   -05° 15' 38.92"
07:56:42   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:56:42   [sync] pointing model updated
07:56:42   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:56:42   Target is now centered.
07:56:42   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:56:42   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:56:42   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:56:42   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:56:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:57:00   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=549.8389 Y=738.027
07:57:01 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:57:01 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:57:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1325.608 Y=607.9982
07:57:15 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:57:15 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:57:15 **Autoguiding failed.
