This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:25:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:25:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:25:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:25:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:25:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:25:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:25:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:25:44 Dome is MaxDome
02:25:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:25:44 Imager is ASCOM
02:25:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:25:44 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@022309 UTC
02:25:44 Imager readout modes:
02:25:44   0 is Fast
02:25:44   1 is Normal
02:25:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:25:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:25:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:25:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:25:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:25:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:25:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:25:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:25:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:25:44 ==== Starting target AE_And ====
02:25:44 ACPS Observation AE_And(1 of 1)
02:25:44   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AE_And)
02:25:44   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:25:44 Pointing updates are enabled
02:25:44 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:25:44   Start slew to AE_And...
02:25:46   (wait for slew to complete)
02:26:55   (slew complete)
02:26:55     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=15254s GW=T HAz=15914s DWz=T WF=no]
02:26:55   Updating pointing...
02:26:56   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:26:56   Focus change of -50 steps required
02:26:58   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:26:58   (using Fast readout mode)
02:26:58   (starting exposure)
02:27:20   (exposure complete)
02:27:22   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:27:23   Image finished
02:27:23   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:27:24   556 image stars found
02:27:24   297 catalog stars found
02:27:25   Solved! 128 stars matched.
02:27:25   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:27:25   Pointing error is 0.800 arcmin @ angle 99.41
02:27:25   True focal length is 3466.2 mm.
02:27:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:27:25   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 06.7s   41° 49' 04.35"
02:27:25   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
02:27:25   [sync] pointing model updated
02:27:25   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:27:25   Target is now centered.
02:27:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:27:25   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:27:25   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
02:27:25   Focus change of 320 steps required
02:27:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:27:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=404.3762 Y=72.1505
02:27:43   (guide star SNR=10.8 X=405 Y=72)
02:27:43   (first exposure estimate 1.39 sec)
02:27:48   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=405 Y=73)
02:27:48   (final exposure for guiding 1.15 sec)
02:27:53   (guide star SNR=3.2 X=405 Y=73)
02:28:06 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
02:28:07   (take guider image at initial interval 1.15 sec)
02:28:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=74.96594 Y=829.1003
02:28:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:28:12 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:28:25   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.1548 Y=347.2807
02:28:26 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:28:26 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:28:26 **Autoguiding failed.
