06:40:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:40:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:40:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:40:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:40:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:40:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:40:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:40:54 Dome is MaxDome
06:40:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:40:54 Imager is ASCOM
06:40:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:40:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@064035 UTC
06:40:54 Imager readout modes:
06:40:54   0 is Fast
06:40:54   1 is Normal
06:40:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:40:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:40:54 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:40:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:40:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:41:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:41:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:41:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:41:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:41:02 ==== Starting target Ter_5 ====
06:41:02 ACPS Observation Ter_5(1 of 1)
06:41:02   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver4538, Plan Ter_5)
06:41:02   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:41:02 Pointing updates are enabled
06:41:02 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:41:02   Start slew to Ter_5...
06:41:04   (wait for slew to complete)
06:41:54   (slew complete)
06:41:54     [flip check:  Tn=420s HAc=-4725s GW=T HAz=-4305s DWz=T WF=no]
06:41:54   Updating pointing...
06:41:54   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:41:54   Focus change of -290 steps required
06:41:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:41:57   (using Fast readout mode)
06:41:57   (starting exposure)
06:42:20   (exposure complete)
06:42:23   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:42:23   Camera temp (deg.C) = -6.6
06:42:24   Focuser position = 3331
06:42:24   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.3
06:42:24   Image finished
06:42:24   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:42:25   2776 image stars found
06:42:25   145 catalog stars found
06:42:26   Solved! 91 stars matched.
06:42:26   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
06:42:26   Pointing error is 0.946 arcmin @ angle 99.55
06:42:26   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
06:42:26   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:42:26   True image center (J2000): 17h 48m 08.9s   -24° 46' 54.42"
06:42:26   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
06:42:26   [sync] pointing model updated
06:42:26   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:42:26   Target is now centered.
06:42:26   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:42:26   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
06:42:26   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
06:42:26   Focus change of 50 steps required
06:42:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:42:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=365.8168 Y=705.5345
06:42:39 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:42:40 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
06:42:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=913.1729 Y=459.3087
06:42:53 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:42:53 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
06:42:53 **Autoguiding failed.
