Licensed to Arne Henden
02:28:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:28:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:28:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:28:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:28:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:28:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:28:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:28:33 Dome is MaxDome
02:28:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:28:34 Imager is ASCOM
02:28:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:28:34 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@022729 UTC
02:28:34 Imager readout modes:
02:28:34   0 is Fast
02:28:34   1 is Normal
02:28:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:28:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:28:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:28:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:28:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:28:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:28:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:28:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:28:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:28:34 ==== Starting target AF_And ====
02:28:34 ACPS Observation AF_And(1 of 1)
02:28:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AF_And)
02:28:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:28:34 Pointing updates are enabled
02:28:34 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:28:34   Start slew to AF_And...
02:28:36   (wait for slew to complete)
02:28:45   (slew complete)
02:28:45   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

02:28:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:28:45   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:28:45   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:28:53   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=424.9725 Y=718.6453
02:28:53   (guide star SNR=15.6 X=425 Y=719)
02:28:54   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
02:28:59   (guide star SNR=3.4 X=424 Y=718)
02:28:59   (final exposure for guiding 1 sec)
02:29:03   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=424 Y=718)

02:29:10   (using Normal readout mode)
02:29:12   (ex=1.22 ey=0.76)
02:29:12   (guider check OK)

02:34:25   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:34:26   Image finished
02:34:27   Plate-solve AF_And_B_20240215_022910_T3 final image.
02:34:30   1987 image stars found
02:34:31   117 catalog stars found
02:34:32   Solved! 40 stars matched.
02:34:32   Average residual is 0.19 arcsec.
02:34:32   Pointing error is 1.155 arcmin @ angle 89.83
02:34:32   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
02:34:32   True focal length is 3474.0 mm.
02:34:32   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
02:34:32   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 39.2s   41° 12' 10.49"
02:34:32   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
02:34:32   Image FWHM is 3.0 arcsec (6.70 pixels)
02:34:32   (avg FWHM = 2.30 arcsec)
02:34:32   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.

02:34:37   (guider error n/a or too high, try #1)
02:34:49 **Guider waited for 10 sec and never got a measurement
02:34:49 **Guider stopped or lost star just before image acquisition
