Licensed to Arne Henden
06:46:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:46:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:46:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:46:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:46:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:46:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:46:04 User actions detected.
06:46:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:46:04 Dome is MaxDome
06:46:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:46:05 Imager is ASCOM
06:46:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:46:05 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230303@064503 UTC
06:46:05 Imager readout modes:
06:46:05   0 is Fast
06:46:05   1 is Normal
06:46:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:46:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:46:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:46:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:46:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:46:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:46:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:46:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:46:05 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====
06:46:05 ACPS Observation HQ_Mon(1 of 1)
06:46:05   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HQ_Mon)
06:46:05   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:46:05 Pointing updates are enabled
06:46:05 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:46:05   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
06:46:07   (wait for slew to complete)
06:46:31   (slew complete)
06:46:31   Calling TargetStart user action.

06:46:31   Updating pointing...
06:46:31   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:46:31   Focus change of 20 steps required
06:46:33   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:46:33   (using Fast readout mode)
06:46:33   (starting exposure)
06:46:50   (exposure complete)
06:46:52   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:46:53   Image finished
06:46:53   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:46:54   1325 image stars found
06:46:54   415 catalog stars found
06:46:56   Solved! 109 stars matched.
06:46:56   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
06:46:56   Pointing error is 3.015 arcmin @ angle 252.14
06:46:56   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
06:46:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:46:56   True image center (J2000): 07h 11m 22.2s   00° 51' 10.54"
06:46:56   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
06:46:56   [sync] pointing model updated
06:46:56   Re-slew to target.
06:46:56   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
06:46:58   (wait for slew to complete)
06:47:07   (slew complete)
06:47:07   Target is now centered.
06:47:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:47:07   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:47:07   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
06:47:07   Focus change of 290 steps required
06:47:11   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:47:25   (guide star SNR=9.6 X=814 Y=550)
06:47:25   (first exposure estimate 1.56 sec)
06:47:30 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
06:47:31 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
06:47:31 **Autoguiding failed.
