This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
01:36:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:36:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:36:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:36:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:36:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:36:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:36:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:36:26 Dome is MaxDome
01:36:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:36:26 Imager is ASCOM
01:36:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:36:26 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240118@013253 UTC
01:36:26 Imager readout modes:
01:36:26   0 is Fast
01:36:26   1 is Normal
01:36:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:36:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:36:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:36:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:36:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:36:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:36:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:36:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:36:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:36:26 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
01:36:26 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
01:36:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
01:36:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:36:27 Pointing updates are enabled
01:36:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:36:27   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
01:36:28   (wait for slew to complete)
01:37:23   (slew complete)
01:37:23     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-21592s GW=T HAz=-21090s DWz=T WF=no]
01:37:23   Updating pointing...
01:37:23   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
01:37:23   Focus change of -320 steps required
01:37:27   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
01:37:27   (using Fast readout mode)
01:37:27   (starting exposure)
01:37:53   (exposure complete)
01:37:55   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
01:37:57   Image finished
01:37:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:37:57   187 image stars found
01:37:57   252 catalog stars found
01:37:59   Solved! 75 stars matched.
01:37:59   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
01:37:59   Pointing error is 1.201 arcmin @ angle 217.42
01:37:59   True focal length is 3459.3 mm.
01:37:59   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.89
01:37:59   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 32.1s   47° 49' 45.26"
01:37:59   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
01:37:59   [sync] pointing model updated
01:37:59   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:37:59   Target is now centered.
01:37:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
01:37:59   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
01:37:59   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
01:37:59   Focus change of 50 steps required
01:38:01   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
01:38:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=944.0779 Y=802.1382
01:38:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:38:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
01:38:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=32 Y=417
01:38:25 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:38:25 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
01:38:25 **Autoguiding failed.
