Licensed to Arne Henden
08:51:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:51:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:51:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:51:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:51:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:51:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:51:37 User actions detected.
08:51:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:51:37 Dome is MaxDome
08:51:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:51:37 Imager is ASCOM
08:51:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:51:37 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230303@085011 UTC
08:51:37 Imager readout modes:
08:51:37   0 is Fast
08:51:37   1 is Normal
08:51:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:51:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:51:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:51:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:51:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:51:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:51:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:51:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:51:37 ==== Starting target RZ_Leo ====
08:51:37 ACPS Observation RZ_Leo(1 of 1)
08:51:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan RZ_Leo)
08:51:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:51:37 Pointing updates are enabled
08:51:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:51:37   Start slew to RZ_Leo...
08:51:39   (wait for slew to complete)
08:52:40   (slew complete)
08:52:40   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:52:40   Updating pointing...
08:52:40   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:52:40   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:52:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:52:42   (using Fast readout mode)
08:52:42   (starting exposure)
08:52:58   (exposure complete)
08:53:00   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:53:01   Image finished
08:53:01   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:53:02   192 image stars found
08:53:02   118 catalog stars found
08:53:04   Solved! 34 stars matched.
08:53:05   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
08:53:05   Pointing error is 2.747 arcmin @ angle 261.85
08:53:05   True focal length is 3467.7 mm.
08:53:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:53:05   True image center (J2000): 11h 37m 11.4s   01° 48' 35.14"
08:53:05   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
08:53:05   [sync] pointing model updated
08:53:05   Re-slew to target.
08:53:05   Start slew to RZ_Leo...
08:53:12   (wait for slew to complete)
08:53:21   (slew complete)
08:53:21   Target is now centered.
08:53:21   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:53:21   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:53:21   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
08:53:21   No focus change required
08:53:21   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:53:32   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=1099 Y=190)
08:53:32   (first exposure estimate 4.14 sec)
08:53:40   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=1098 Y=188)
08:53:40   (final exposure for guiding 4.36 sec)
08:53:47   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=1097 Y=187)
08:57:20   (take guider image at initial interval 4.36 sec)
08:57:28   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=139 Y=383)
08:57:30   (first exposure estimate 3.93 sec)
08:57:36 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:57:37 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:57:37 **Autoguiding failed.
