Licensed to Arne Henden
01:46:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:46:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:46:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:46:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:46:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:46:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:46:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:46:16 Dome is MaxDome
01:46:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:46:16 Imager is ASCOM
01:46:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:46:16 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240128@013248 UTC
01:46:16 Imager readout modes:
01:46:16   0 is Fast
01:46:16   1 is Normal
01:46:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:46:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:46:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:46:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:46:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:46:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:46:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:46:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:46:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:46:16 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
01:46:16 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
01:46:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
01:46:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:46:16 Pointing updates are enabled
01:46:16 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:46:16   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
01:46:18   (wait for slew to complete)
01:47:48   (slew complete)
01:47:48     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-18600s GW=T HAz=-18097s DWz=T WF=no]
01:47:48   Updating pointing...
01:47:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
01:47:48   (using Fast readout mode)
01:47:48   (starting exposure)
01:48:04   (exposure complete)
01:48:07   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
01:48:08   Image finished
01:48:08   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:48:09   333 image stars found
01:48:09   252 catalog stars found
01:48:10   Solved! 110 stars matched.
01:48:10   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
01:48:10   Pointing error is 0.682 arcmin @ angle 213.62
01:48:10   True focal length is 3467.1 mm.
01:48:10   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
01:48:10   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 34.1s   47° 50' 08.42"
01:48:10   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
01:48:10   [sync] pointing model updated
01:48:10   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:48:10   Target is now centered.
01:48:10   (high cadence option, no web previews)
01:48:10   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
01:48:10   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
01:48:10   Focus change of 50 steps required
01:48:12   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
01:48:22   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
01:48:22 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:48:23 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
01:48:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1287 Y=881.9903
01:48:36 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
01:48:36 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
01:48:36 **Autoguiding failed.
