Licensed to Arne Henden
07:03:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:03:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:03:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:03:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:03:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:03:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:03:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:03:34 Dome is MaxDome
07:03:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:03:34 Imager is ASCOM
07:03:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:03:34 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@070107 UTC
07:03:34 Imager readout modes:
07:03:34   0 is Fast
07:03:34   1 is Normal
07:03:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:03:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:03:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:03:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:03:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:03:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:03:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:03:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:03:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:03:34 ==== Starting target HS1340+1524 ====
07:03:34 ACPS Observation HS1340+1524(1 of 1)
07:03:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan HS1340+1524)
07:03:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:03:34 Pointing updates are enabled
07:03:34 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:03:34   Start slew to HS1340+1524...
07:03:36   (wait for slew to complete)
07:05:46   (slew complete)
07:05:46     [flip check:  Tn=480s HAc=-15257s GW=T HAz=-14777s DWz=T WF=no]
07:05:46   Updating pointing...
07:05:46   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:05:46   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:05:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:05:51   (using Fast readout mode)
07:05:51   (starting exposure)
07:06:17   (exposure complete)
07:06:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:06:21   Image finished
07:06:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:06:21   242 image stars found
07:06:21   113 catalog stars found
07:06:23   Solved! 16 stars matched.
07:06:23   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
07:06:23   Pointing error is 1.073 arcmin @ angle 273.54
07:06:23   True focal length is 3483.0 mm.
07:06:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:06:23   True image center (J2000): 13h 43m 19.0s   15° 09' 19.97"
07:06:23   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:06:23   [sync] pointing model updated
07:06:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:06:23   Target is now centered.
07:06:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:06:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:06:23   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:06:23   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:06:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:06:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
07:06:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:06:41 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:06:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
07:06:54 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:06:54 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:06:54 **Autoguiding failed.
