Licensed to Arne Henden
02:48:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:48:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:48:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:48:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:48:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:48:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:48:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:48:45 Dome is MaxDome
02:48:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:48:45 Imager is ASCOM
02:48:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:48:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240214@024733 UTC
02:48:45 Imager readout modes:
02:48:45   0 is Fast
02:48:45   1 is Normal
02:48:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:48:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:48:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:48:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:48:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:48:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:48:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:48:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:48:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:48:45 ==== Starting target AE_And ====
02:48:45 ACPS Observation AE_And(1 of 1)
02:48:45   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AE_And)
02:48:45   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:48:45 Pointing updates are enabled
02:48:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:48:45   Start slew to AE_And...
02:48:47   (wait for slew to complete)
02:49:32   (slew complete)
02:49:32     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=16377s GW=T HAz=17037s DWz=T WF=no]
02:49:32   Updating pointing...
02:49:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:49:32   (using Fast readout mode)
02:49:32   (starting exposure)
02:49:47   (exposure complete)
02:49:49   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:49:50   Image finished
02:49:50   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:49:51   471 image stars found
02:49:51   297 catalog stars found
02:49:52   Solved! 116 stars matched.
02:49:52   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:49:52   Pointing error is 1.084 arcmin @ angle 85.62
02:49:52   True focal length is 3465.4 mm.
02:49:52   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:49:52   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 08.3s   41° 49' 17.16"
02:49:52   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
02:49:52   [sync] pointing model updated
02:49:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:49:52   Target is now centered.
02:49:52   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:49:52   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:49:52   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:49:52   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:49:57   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:50:09   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=369.0594 Y=66.28622
02:50:10   (guide star SNR=10.8 X=369 Y=66)
02:50:10   (first exposure estimate 1.39 sec)
02:50:15   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=368 Y=66)
02:50:15   (final exposure for guiding 1.22 sec)
02:50:20   (guide star SNR=2.8 X=368 Y=65)
02:50:32 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
02:50:33   (take guider image at initial interval 1.22 sec)
02:50:38   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:50:38 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:50:38 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:50:51   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.756 Y=347.2279
02:50:52 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:50:52 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:50:52 **Autoguiding failed.
