Licensed to Arne Henden
11:50:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:50:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:50:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:50:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:50:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:50:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:50:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:50:19 Dome is MaxDome
11:50:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:50:19 Imager is ASCOM
11:50:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:50:19 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@114440 UTC
11:50:19 Imager readout modes:
11:50:19   0 is Fast
11:50:19   1 is Normal
11:50:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:50:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:50:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:50:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:50:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:50:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:50:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:50:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:50:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:50:19 ==== Starting target HR_Lyr ====
11:50:19 ACPS Observation HR_Lyr(1 of 1)
11:50:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HR_Lyr)
11:50:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:50:19 Pointing updates are enabled
11:50:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:50:19   Start slew to HR_Lyr...
11:50:21   (wait for slew to complete)
11:50:50   (slew complete)
11:50:50     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-16219s GW=T HAz=-15679s DWz=T WF=no]
11:50:50   Updating pointing...
11:50:50   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:50:50   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:50:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:50:52   (using Fast readout mode)
11:50:52   (starting exposure)
11:51:14   (exposure complete)
11:51:16   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:51:18   Image finished
11:51:18   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:51:18   711 image stars found
11:51:18   428 catalog stars found
11:51:19   Solved! 132 stars matched.
11:51:19   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
11:51:19   Pointing error is 0.556 arcmin @ angle 235.04
11:51:19   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
11:51:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:51:19   True image center (J2000): 18h 53m 22.9s   29° 13' 17.86"
11:51:19   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:51:20   [sync] pointing model updated
11:51:20   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:51:20   Target is now centered.
11:51:20   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:51:20   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
11:51:20   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
11:51:20   Focus change of -20 steps required
11:51:22   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:51:36   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1196.765 Y=731.9875
11:51:37   (guide star SNR=5.3 X=1197 Y=732)
11:51:37   (first exposure estimate 2.85 sec)
11:51:43   (guide star SNR=3.5 X=1192 Y=728)
11:51:43   (final exposure for guiding 2.45 sec)
11:51:49   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=1189 Y=726)
11:51:51 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
11:51:52   (take guider image at initial interval 2.45 sec)
11:51:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1052 Y=359
11:51:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:51:58 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:52:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.5 Y=608.1165
11:52:12 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
11:52:12 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:52:12 **Autoguiding failed.
