This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:28:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:28:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:28:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:28:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:28:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:28:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:28:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:28:24 Dome is MaxDome
02:28:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:28:24 Imager is ASCOM
02:28:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:28:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240118@022448 UTC
02:28:24 Imager readout modes:
02:28:24   0 is Fast
02:28:24   1 is Normal
02:28:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:28:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:28:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:28:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:28:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:28:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:28:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:28:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:28:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:28:24 ==== Starting target V838_Mon ====
02:28:24 ACPS Observation V838_Mon(1 of 1)
02:28:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P237_CWT_AUTO_ver3515, Plan V838_Mon)
02:28:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:28:24 Pointing updates are enabled
02:28:24 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:28:24   Start slew to V838_Mon...
02:28:26   (wait for slew to complete)
02:28:40   (slew complete)
02:28:40   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
02:28:40     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-14122s GW=T HAz=-13582s DWz=T WF=no]
02:28:40   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:28:40   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:28:40   Switching from V to SG filter for imaging
02:28:40   Focus change of -240 steps required
02:28:43   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:29:02   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=122.3911 Y=171.9648
02:29:02   (guide star SNR=21.4 X=122 Y=172)
02:29:02   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
02:29:07   (guide star SNR=5.3 X=121 Y=172)
02:29:08   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
02:29:13   (guide star SNR=4.0 X=121 Y=168)
02:29:13 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
02:29:15   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
02:29:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=121 Y=168
02:29:20   (guide star SNR=5.0 X=117 Y=166)
02:29:20   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)

02:29:32 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
02:29:33   (take guider image at initial interval 1 sec)
02:29:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723 Y=913
02:29:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:29:38 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:29:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.847 Y=608.1157
02:29:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:29:52 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:29:52 **Autoguiding failed.
