Licensed to Arne Henden
02:07:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:07:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:07:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:07:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:07:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:07:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:07:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:07:07 Dome is MaxDome
02:07:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:07:07 Imager is ASCOM
02:07:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:07:07 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@020516 UTC
02:07:07 Imager readout modes:
02:07:07   0 is Fast
02:07:07   1 is Normal
02:07:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:07:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:07:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:07:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:07:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:07:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:07:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:07:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:07:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:07:07 ==== Starting target MP_Gem ====
02:07:07 ACPS Observation MP_Gem(1 of 1)
02:07:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SBL_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MP_Gem)
02:07:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:07:07 Pointing updates are enabled
02:07:07 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:07:07   Start slew to MP_Gem...
02:07:09   (wait for slew to complete)
02:08:34   (slew complete)

02:08:34   Updating pointing...
02:08:34   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:08:34   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:08:38   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:08:38   (using Fast readout mode)
02:08:38   (starting exposure)
02:09:03   (exposure complete)
02:09:06   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:09:07   Image finished
02:09:07   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:09:08   729 image stars found
02:09:08   315 catalog stars found
02:09:09   Solved! 104 stars matched.
02:09:09   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:09:09   Pointing error is 2.058 arcmin @ angle 260.06
02:09:09   True focal length is 3464.8 mm.
02:09:09   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:09:09   True image center (J2000): 06h 48m 24.8s   19° 36' 52.97"
02:09:09   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:09:09   [sync] pointing model updated
02:09:09   Re-slew to target.
02:09:09   Start slew to MP_Gem...
02:09:13   (wait for slew to complete)
02:09:23   (slew complete)
02:09:23   Target is now centered.
02:09:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:09:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:09:23   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
02:09:23   Focus change of 290 steps required
02:09:26   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:09:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=60 Y=331
02:09:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:09:42 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:09:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027.19 Y=945.3112
02:09:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:09:55 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:09:55 **Autoguiding failed.
