07:24:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:24:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:24:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:24:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:24:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:24:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:24:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:24:24 Dome is MaxDome
07:24:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:24:24 Imager is ASCOM
07:24:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:24:24 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250610@072341 UTC
07:24:24 Imager readout modes:
07:24:24   0 is Fast
07:24:24   1 is Normal
07:24:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:24:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:24:24 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:24:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:24:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:24:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:24:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:24:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:24:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:24:32 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
07:24:32 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
07:24:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver5104, Plan PV_Cep)
07:24:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:24:32 Pointing updates are enabled
07:24:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

07:25:03   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:25:03   Focus change of 20 steps required
07:25:06   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:25:06   (using Fast readout mode)
07:25:06   (starting exposure)
07:25:21   (exposure complete)
07:25:24   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:25:24   Camera temp (deg.C) = -7.2
07:25:26   Focuser position = 3650
07:25:26   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 22.2
07:25:26   Image finished
07:25:26   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:25:26   339 image stars found
07:25:26   384 catalog stars found
07:25:28   Solved! 68 stars matched.
07:25:28   Average residual is 0.41 arcsec.
07:25:28   Pointing error is 2.511 arcmin @ angle 163.86
07:25:28   True focal length is 3461.7 mm.
07:25:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
07:25:28   True image center (J2000): 20h 46m 01.4s   67° 55' 13.96"
07:25:28   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
07:25:28   [sync] pointing model updated
07:25:28   Re-slew to target.
07:25:28   Start slew to PV_Cep...
07:25:31   (wait for slew to complete)
07:25:45   (slew complete)
07:25:45   Target is now centered.
07:25:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:25:46   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:25:46   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
07:25:46   No focus change required
07:25:46   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:25:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.065 Y=608.2449
07:25:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:25:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:26:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.121 Y=607.9214
07:26:11   (guide star SNR=35.0 X=1326 Y=608)
07:26:11   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
07:26:16 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:26:16 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
07:26:16 **Autoguiding failed.
