Licensed to Arne Henden
05:49:46 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:49:46 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:49:46   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:49:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:49:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:49:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:49:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:49:47 Dome is MaxDome
05:49:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:49:47 Imager is ASCOM
05:49:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:49:47 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240127@054928 UTC
05:49:47 Imager readout modes:
05:49:47   0 is Fast
05:49:47   1 is Normal
05:49:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:49:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:49:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:49:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:49:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:49:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:49:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:49:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:49:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:49:47 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
05:49:47 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
05:49:47   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WLP_AUTO_ver3464, Plan J072816)
05:49:47   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:49:47 Pointing updates are enabled
05:49:47 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:49:47   Start slew to J072816...
05:49:49   (wait for slew to complete)
05:50:24   (slew complete)
05:50:24     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-1430s GW=T HAz=-950s DWz=T WF=no]
05:50:24   Updating pointing...
05:50:24   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:50:24   Focus change of -270 steps required
05:50:28   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:50:28   (using Fast readout mode)
05:50:28   (starting exposure)
05:50:51   (exposure complete)
05:50:54   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:50:55   Image finished
05:50:55   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:50:56   357 image stars found
05:50:56   313 catalog stars found
05:50:57   Solved! 44 stars matched.
05:50:57   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
05:50:57   Pointing error is 0.954 arcmin @ angle 239.39
05:50:57   True focal length is 3469.5 mm.
05:50:57   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:50:57   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 05.4s   75° 15' 46.04"
05:50:57   Imager sky position angle is 178.6 deg.
05:50:57   [sync] pointing model updated
05:50:57   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:50:57   Target is now centered.
05:50:57   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:50:57   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:50:57   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
05:50:57   Focus change of -20 steps required
05:51:00   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:51:14   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:51:14 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:51:15 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:51:28   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=244 Y=76
05:51:28 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:51:28 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:51:28 **Autoguiding failed.
