Licensed to Arne Henden
08:36:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:36:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:36:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:36:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:36:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:36:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:36:30 User actions detected.
08:36:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:36:30 Dome is MaxDome
08:36:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:36:31 Imager is ASCOM
08:36:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:36:31 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230303@083554 UTC
08:36:31 Imager readout modes:
08:36:31   0 is Fast
08:36:31   1 is Normal
08:36:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:36:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:36:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:36:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:36:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:36:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:36:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:36:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:36:31 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
08:36:31 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
08:36:31   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
08:36:31   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:36:32 Pointing updates are enabled
08:36:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:36:32   Start slew to U_Leo...
08:36:33   (wait for slew to complete)
08:36:53   (slew complete)
08:36:53   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:36:53   Updating pointing...
08:36:53   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:36:53   Focus change of -290 steps required
08:36:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:36:57   (using Fast readout mode)
08:36:57   (starting exposure)
08:37:22   (exposure complete)
08:37:24   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:37:25   Image finished
08:37:26   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:37:26   192 image stars found
08:37:26   150 catalog stars found
08:37:28   Solved! 48 stars matched.
08:37:28   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
08:37:28   Pointing error is 2.414 arcmin @ angle 254.91
08:37:28   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
08:37:28   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:37:28   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 54.2s   13° 59' 48.28"
08:37:28   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:37:28   [sync] pointing model updated
08:37:28   Re-slew to target.
08:37:28   Start slew to U_Leo...
08:37:29   (wait for slew to complete)
08:37:34   (slew complete)
08:37:34   Target is now centered.
08:37:34   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:37:34   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:37:34   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:37:34   Focus change of 290 steps required
08:37:38   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
08:37:51 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:37:51 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
08:38:05   (guide star SNR=3.0 X=825 Y=851)
08:38:05   (first exposure estimate 9.99 sec)
08:38:19 **No stars at all found in guider image
08:38:19 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
08:38:19 **Autoguiding failed.
