08:31:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:31:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:31:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:31:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:31:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:31:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:31:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:31:28 Dome is MaxDome
08:31:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:31:28 Imager is ASCOM
08:31:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:31:28 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@083025 UTC
08:31:28 Imager readout modes:
08:31:28   0 is Fast
08:31:28   1 is Normal
08:31:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:31:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:31:28 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:31:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:31:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:31:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:31:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:31:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:31:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:31:36 ==== Starting target NSV_11154 ====
08:31:36 ACPS Observation NSV_11154(1 of 1)
08:31:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan NSV_11154)
08:31:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:31:36 Pointing updates are enabled
08:31:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:31:36   Start slew to NSV_11154...
08:31:38   (wait for slew to complete)

08:32:38   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:32:38   Focus change of -50 steps required
08:32:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:32:41   (using Fast readout mode)
08:32:41   (starting exposure)
08:33:00   (exposure complete)
08:33:02   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:33:02   Camera temp (deg.C) = -8
08:33:03   Focuser position = 3338
08:33:03   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.2
08:33:03   Image finished
08:33:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:33:04   845 image stars found
08:33:04   352 catalog stars found
08:33:05   Solved! 144 stars matched.
08:33:05   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
08:33:05   Pointing error is 1.655 arcmin @ angle 79.64
08:33:05   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
08:33:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:33:05   True image center (J2000): 18h 38m 00.9s   47° 23' 41.33"
08:33:05   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
08:33:05   [sync] pointing model updated
08:33:05   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:33:05   Target is now centered.
08:33:05   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:33:05   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
08:33:05   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
08:33:05   Focus change of -20 steps required
08:33:08   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:33:21   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=21.49539 Y=892.7461
08:33:22   (guide star SNR=14.2 X=12 Y=886)
08:33:22   (first exposure estimate 1.05 sec)

08:33:27   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
08:33:32   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=11 Y=885)
08:33:45 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement

08:33:50   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
08:33:51 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:33:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:34:04   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.044 Y=608.1166
08:34:05 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
08:34:05 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:34:05 **Autoguiding failed.
