Licensed to Arne Henden
02:22:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:22:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:22:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:22:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:22:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:22:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:22:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:22:20 Dome is MaxDome
02:22:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:22:20 Imager is ASCOM
02:22:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:22:20 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240214@014613 UTC
02:22:21 Imager readout modes:
02:22:21   0 is Fast
02:22:21   1 is Normal
02:22:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:22:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:22:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:22:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:22:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:22:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:22:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:22:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:22:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:22:21 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
02:22:21 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
02:22:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
02:22:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:22:21 Pointing updates are enabled
02:22:21 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:22:21   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:22:22   (wait for slew to complete)
02:23:32   (slew complete)
02:23:32     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-12429s GW=T HAz=-11927s DWz=T WF=no]
02:23:32   Updating pointing...
02:23:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:23:32   (using Fast readout mode)
02:23:32   (starting exposure)
02:23:47   (exposure complete)
02:23:50   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:23:51   Image finished
02:23:51   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:23:52   354 image stars found
02:23:52   252 catalog stars found
02:23:53   Solved! 94 stars matched.
02:23:53   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
02:23:53   Pointing error is 0.491 arcmin @ angle 254.56
02:23:53   True focal length is 3463.5 mm.
02:23:53   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:23:53   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 33.6s   47° 50' 34.65"
02:23:53   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:23:53   [sync] pointing model updated
02:23:53   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:23:53   Target is now centered.
02:23:53   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:23:53   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:23:53   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:23:53   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:23:55   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:24:05   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=221.5354 Y=55.68464
02:24:06   (guide star SNR=4.7 X=221 Y=56)
02:24:06   (first exposure estimate 3.18 sec)
02:24:13   (guide star SNR=2.6 X=221 Y=55)
02:24:13   (final exposure for guiding 3.68 sec)
02:24:20   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=220 Y=55)
02:25:13 **Guider waited for 18.4 sec and never got a measurement
02:25:14   (take guider image at initial interval 3.68 sec)
02:25:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=75 Y=829
02:25:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:25:21 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:25:34   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1027 Y=945
02:25:35 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:25:35 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:25:35 **Autoguiding failed.
