Licensed to Arne Henden
04:34:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:34:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:34:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:34:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:34:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:34:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:34:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:34:57 Dome is MaxDome
04:34:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:34:57 Imager is ASCOM
04:34:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:34:57 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240213@042957 UTC
04:34:57 Imager readout modes:
04:34:57   0 is Fast
04:34:57   1 is Normal
04:34:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:34:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:34:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:34:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:34:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:34:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:34:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:34:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:34:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:34:57 ==== Starting target QZ_Aur ====
04:34:57 ACPS Observation QZ_Aur(1 of 1)
04:34:57   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan QZ_Aur)
04:34:57   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:34:58 Pointing updates are enabled
04:34:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:34:58   Start slew to QZ_Aur...
04:34:59   (wait for slew to complete)
04:35:36   (slew complete)
04:35:36     [flip check:  Tn=460s HAc=5373s GW=T HAz=5833s DWz=T WF=no]
04:35:36   Updating pointing...
04:35:36   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:35:36   No focus change required
04:35:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:35:36   (using Fast readout mode)
04:35:36   (starting exposure)
04:35:57   (exposure complete)
04:35:59   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:36:00   Image finished
04:36:00   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:36:01   2209 image stars found
04:36:01   486 catalog stars found
04:36:02   Solved! 205 stars matched.
04:36:02   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
04:36:02   Pointing error is 1.665 arcmin @ angle 84.77
04:36:02   True focal length is 3468.4 mm.
04:36:02   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:36:02   True image center (J2000): 05h 28m 42.0s   33° 18' 30.88"
04:36:02   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:36:02   [sync] pointing model updated
04:36:02   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:36:02   Target is now centered.
04:36:02   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:36:02   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:36:02   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
04:36:02   Focus change of 320 steps required
04:36:06   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:36:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1273.05 Y=208.2478
04:36:19   (guide star SNR=28.7 X=1273 Y=208)
04:36:20   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
04:36:25   (guide star SNR=7.6 X=1273 Y=207)
04:36:25   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
04:36:30   (guide star SNR=6.6 X=1272 Y=207)
04:36:36   (autoguiding at 1.00 sec.)

04:37:05 **Guider stopped or lost star just before image acquisition
