Licensed to Arne Henden
09:07:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:07:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:07:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:07:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:07:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:07:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:07:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:07:06 Dome is MaxDome
09:07:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:07:07 Imager is ASCOM
09:07:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:07:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20231013@090631 UTC
09:07:07 Imager readout modes:
09:07:07   0 is Fast
09:07:07   1 is Normal
09:07:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:07:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:07:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:07:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:07:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:07:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:07:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:07:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:07:07 ==== Starting target CW_Mon ====
09:07:07 ACPS Observation CW_Mon(1 of 1)
09:07:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan CW_Mon)

09:07:31   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:07:31   Focus change of -290 steps required
09:07:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:07:35   (using Fast readout mode)
09:07:35   (starting exposure)
09:08:00   (exposure complete)
09:08:02   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:08:03   Image finished
09:08:03   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:08:04   426 image stars found
09:08:04   207 catalog stars found
09:08:05   Solved! 82 stars matched.
09:08:05   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
09:08:05   Pointing error is 3.761 arcmin @ angle 274.59
09:08:05   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
09:08:05   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:08:05   True image center (J2000): 06h 36m 39.6s   00° 02' 35.27"
09:08:05   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
09:08:05   [sync] pointing model updated
09:08:05   Re-slew to target.
09:08:05   Start slew to CW_Mon...
09:08:07   (wait for slew to complete)
09:08:17   (slew complete)
09:08:17   Target is now centered.
09:08:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:08:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:08:17   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:08:17   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:08:20   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:08:35   (guide star SNR=2.9 X=280 Y=783)
09:08:35   (first exposure estimate 5.1 sec)
09:08:43 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:08:43 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
09:08:43 **Autoguiding failed.
