09:18:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:18:51 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:18:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:18:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:18:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:18:52 User actions detected.
09:18:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:18:52 Dome is MaxDome
09:18:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:18:53 Imager is ASCOM
09:18:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:18:53 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20250704@091335 UTC
09:18:53 Imager readout modes:
09:18:53   0 is Fast
09:18:53   1 is Normal
09:18:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:18:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:18:53 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:18:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:18:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:19:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:19:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:19:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:19:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:19:00 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
09:19:00 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
09:19:00   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
09:19:00   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:19:01 Pointing updates are enabled

09:19:41   Switching from SZ to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:19:41   Focus change of 50 steps required
09:19:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:19:43   (using Fast readout mode)
09:19:43   (starting exposure)

09:20:05   738 image stars found
09:20:05   331 catalog stars found
09:20:06   Solved! 86 stars matched.
09:20:06   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
09:20:06   Pointing error is 1.935 arcmin @ angle 26.42
09:20:06   True focal length is 3461.9 mm.
09:20:06   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.90
09:20:06   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 21.1s   44° 02' 52.55"
09:20:06   Imager sky position angle is 179.2 deg.
09:20:06   [sync] pointing model updated
09:20:06   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:20:06   Target is now centered.
09:20:06   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:20:06   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:20:06   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
09:20:06   Focus change of 50 steps required
09:20:09   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:20:18   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1161.757 Y=865.0625
09:20:19 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
