07:15:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:15:01 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:15:01   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:15:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:15:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:15:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:15:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:15:02 Dome is MaxDome
07:15:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:15:02 Imager is ASCOM
07:15:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:15:02 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@071222 UTC
07:15:02 Imager readout modes:
07:15:02   0 is Fast
07:15:02   1 is Normal
07:15:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:15:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:15:02 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:15:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:15:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:15:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:15:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:15:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:15:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:15:11 ==== Starting target V2492_Cyg ====
07:15:11 ACPS Observation V2492_Cyg(1 of 1)
07:15:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan V2492_Cyg)
07:15:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:15:11 Pointing updates are enabled
07:15:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:15:11   Start slew to V2492_Cyg...
07:15:13   (wait for slew to complete)
07:16:13   (slew complete)

07:16:13   Updating pointing...
07:16:13   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:16:13   Focus change of -50 steps required
07:16:15   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:16:15   (using Fast readout mode)
07:16:15   (starting exposure)
07:16:35   (exposure complete)
07:16:37   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:16:37   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.2
07:16:39   Focuser position = 3338
07:16:39   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23
07:16:39   Image finished
07:16:39   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:16:40   537 image stars found
07:16:40   200 catalog stars found
07:16:41   Solved! 93 stars matched.
07:16:41   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
07:16:41   Pointing error is 1.876 arcmin @ angle 75.18
07:16:41   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
07:16:41   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:16:41   True image center (J2000): 20h 51m 36.3s   44° 05' 52.66"
07:16:41   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:16:41   [sync] pointing model updated
07:16:41   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:16:41   Target is now centered.
07:16:41   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:16:41   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:16:41   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
07:16:41   Focus change of -20 steps required
07:16:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:16:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=643.5706 Y=199.472
07:16:58   (guide star SNR=40.7 X=643 Y=199)
07:16:58   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:17:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:17:03 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:17:03 **Autoguiding failed.
