Licensed to Arne Henden
08:38:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:38:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:38:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:38:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:38:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:38:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:38:26 User actions detected.
08:38:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:38:26 Dome is MaxDome
08:38:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:38:26 Imager is ASCOM
08:38:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:38:26 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230303@083738 UTC
08:38:26 Imager readout modes:
08:38:26   0 is Fast
08:38:26   1 is Normal
08:38:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:38:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:38:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:38:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:38:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:38:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:38:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:38:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:38:26 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
08:38:26 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
08:38:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
08:38:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:38:26 Pointing updates are enabled
08:38:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:38:26   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
08:38:28   (wait for slew to complete)
08:39:04   (slew complete)
08:39:04   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:39:04   Updating pointing...
08:39:04   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:39:04   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:39:07   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:39:07   (using Fast readout mode)
08:39:07   (starting exposure)
08:39:32   (exposure complete)
08:39:34   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:39:35   Image finished
08:39:35   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:39:36   223 image stars found
08:39:36   252 catalog stars found
08:39:37   Solved! 95 stars matched.
08:39:37   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
08:39:37   Pointing error is 1.891 arcmin @ angle 140.01
08:39:37   True focal length is 3465.5 mm.
08:39:37   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:39:37   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 43.6s   47° 49' 15.55"
08:39:37   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:39:37   [sync] pointing model updated
08:39:37   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:39:37   Target is now centered.
08:39:37   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:39:37   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:39:37   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
08:39:37   Focus change of 50 steps required
08:39:40   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:39:49 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:40:03 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
08:40:04 **Autoguiding failed.
