Licensed to Arne Henden
04:20:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:20:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:20:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:20:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:20:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:20:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:20:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:20:44 Dome is MaxDome
04:20:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:20:44 Imager is ASCOM
04:20:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:20:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@041934 UTC
04:20:44 Imager readout modes:
04:20:44   0 is Fast
04:20:44   1 is Normal
04:20:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:20:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:20:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:20:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:20:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:20:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:20:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:20:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:20:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:20:44 ==== Starting target V1647_Ori ====
04:20:44 ACPS Observation V1647_Ori(1 of 1)
04:20:44   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V1647_Ori)
04:20:44   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:20:44 Pointing updates are enabled
04:20:44 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:20:44   Start slew to V1647_Ori...
04:20:46   (wait for slew to complete)
04:21:46   (slew complete)
04:21:46     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=3503s GW=T HAz=4163s DWz=T WF=no]
04:21:46   Updating pointing...
04:21:46   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:21:46   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:21:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:21:50   (using Fast readout mode)
04:21:50   (starting exposure)
04:22:15   (exposure complete)
04:22:18   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:22:19   Image finished
04:22:19   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:22:20   298 image stars found
04:22:20   147 catalog stars found
04:22:21   Solved! 50 stars matched.
04:22:21   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
04:22:21   Pointing error is 3.041 arcmin @ angle 278.78
04:22:21   True focal length is 3464.4 mm.
04:22:21   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:22:21   True image center (J2000): 05h 46m 01.1s   -00° 05' 36.96"
04:22:21   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:22:21   [sync] pointing model updated
04:22:21   Re-slew to target.
04:22:21   Start slew to V1647_Ori...
04:22:25   (wait for slew to complete)
04:22:34   (slew complete)
04:22:34   Target is now centered.
04:22:34   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:22:34   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
04:22:34   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:22:34   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:22:38   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:22:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
04:22:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:22:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:23:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=244.3731 Y=75.99326
04:23:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:23:07 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:23:07 **Autoguiding failed.
