Licensed to Arne Henden
05:56:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:56:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:56:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:56:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:56:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:56:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:56:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:56:29 Dome is MaxDome
05:56:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:56:30 Imager is ASCOM
05:56:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:56:30 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20231013@055605 UTC
05:56:30 Imager readout modes:
05:56:30   0 is Fast
05:56:30   1 is Normal
05:56:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:56:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:56:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:56:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:56:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:56:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:56:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:56:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:56:30 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
05:56:30 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
05:56:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PV_Cep)
05:56:30   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:56:30 Pointing updates are enabled
05:56:30 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:56:30   (wait for slew to complete)
05:56:33   (slew complete)
05:56:33   Start slew to PV_Cep...

05:57:50   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:57:50   No focus change required
05:57:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:57:50   (using Fast readout mode)
05:57:50   (starting exposure)
05:58:11   (exposure complete)
05:58:13   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:58:14   Image finished
05:58:14   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:58:15   699 image stars found
05:58:15   384 catalog stars found
05:58:16   Solved! 148 stars matched.
05:58:16   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
05:58:16   Pointing error is 0.854 arcmin @ angle 207.97
05:58:16   True focal length is 3466.1 mm.
05:58:16   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:58:16   True image center (J2000): 20h 45m 49.7s   67° 56' 53.45"
05:58:16   Imager sky position angle is 179.4 deg.
05:58:16   [sync] pointing model updated
05:58:16   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:58:16   Target is now centered.
05:58:16   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:58:16   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:58:16   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
05:58:16   No focus change required
05:58:16   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:58:27   (guide star SNR=5.4 X=1151 Y=657)
05:58:28   (first exposure estimate 2.78 sec)
05:58:34 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:58:34 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
05:58:34 **Autoguiding failed.
