Licensed to Arne Henden
02:33:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:33:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:33:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:33:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:33:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:33:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:33:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:33:10 Dome is MaxDome
02:33:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:33:10 Imager is ASCOM
02:33:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:33:11 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240127@023204 UTC
02:33:11 Imager readout modes:
02:33:11   0 is Fast
02:33:11   1 is Normal
02:33:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:33:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:33:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:33:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:33:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:33:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:33:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:33:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:33:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:33:11 ==== Starting target V582_Aur ====
02:33:11 ACPS Observation V582_Aur(1 of 1)
02:33:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V582_Aur)
02:33:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:33:11 Pointing updates are enabled
02:33:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:33:11   Start slew to V582_Aur...
02:33:12   (wait for slew to complete)
02:34:55   (slew complete)
02:34:55     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-5722s GW=T HAz=-5182s DWz=T WF=no]
02:34:55   Updating pointing...
02:34:55   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:34:55   Focus change of 20 steps required
02:34:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:34:57   (using Fast readout mode)
02:34:57   (starting exposure)
02:35:14   (exposure complete)
02:35:17   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:35:18   Image finished
02:35:18   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:35:19   1281 image stars found
02:35:19   317 catalog stars found
02:35:20   Solved! 146 stars matched.
02:35:20   Average residual is 0.16 arcsec.
02:35:20   Pointing error is 1.864 arcmin @ angle 276.90
02:35:20   True focal length is 3469.1 mm.
02:35:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:35:20   True image center (J2000): 05h 25m 16.0s   34° 52' 43.43"
02:35:20   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:35:20   [sync] pointing model updated
02:35:20   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:35:20   Target is now centered.
02:35:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:35:20   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
02:35:20   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
02:35:20   Focus change of 290 steps required
02:35:24   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:35:37   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=503.9757 Y=523.5688
02:35:38   (guide star SNR=9.2 X=498 Y=519)
02:35:38   (first exposure estimate 1.63 sec)
02:35:43 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:35:43 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
02:35:43 **Autoguiding failed.
