Licensed to Arne Henden
05:25:55 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:25:55 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:25:55   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:25:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:25:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:25:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:25:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:25:56 Dome is MaxDome
05:25:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:25:56 Imager is ASCOM
05:25:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:25:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240119@052338 UTC
05:25:56 Imager readout modes:
05:25:56   0 is Fast
05:25:56   1 is Normal
05:25:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:25:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:25:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:25:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:25:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:25:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:25:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:25:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:25:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:25:56 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
05:25:56 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
05:25:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
05:25:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:25:57 Pointing updates are enabled
05:25:57 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:25:57   Start slew to U_Leo...
05:25:58   (wait for slew to complete)
05:26:43   (slew complete)
05:26:43     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-15178s GW=T HAz=-14578s DWz=T WF=no]
05:26:43   Updating pointing...
05:26:43   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:26:43   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:26:44   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:26:44   (using Fast readout mode)
05:26:44   (starting exposure)
05:27:09   (exposure complete)
05:27:11   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:27:12   Image finished
05:27:12   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:27:12   158 image stars found
05:27:13   150 catalog stars found
05:27:14   Solved! 42 stars matched.
05:27:14   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
05:27:14   Pointing error is 2.047 arcmin @ angle 265.17
05:27:14   True focal length is 3465.0 mm.
05:27:14   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:27:14   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 55.4s   14° 00' 15.65"
05:27:14   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
05:27:14   [sync] pointing model updated
05:27:14   Re-slew to target.
05:27:14   Start slew to U_Leo...
05:27:15   (wait for slew to complete)
05:27:20   (slew complete)
05:27:20   Target is now centered.
05:27:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:27:20   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:27:20   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:27:20   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:27:20   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:27:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:27:35 **No stars at all found in guider image
05:27:35 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:27:47   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.25 Y=607.9983
05:27:48 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:27:48 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:27:48 **Autoguiding failed.
