Licensed to Arne Henden
07:08:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:08:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:08:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:08:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:08:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:08:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:08:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:08:53 Dome is MaxDome
07:08:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:08:53 Imager is ASCOM
07:08:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:08:53 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@070504 UTC
07:08:53 Imager readout modes:
07:08:53   0 is Fast
07:08:53   1 is Normal
07:08:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:08:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:08:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:08:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:08:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:08:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:08:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:08:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:08:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:08:53 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
07:08:53 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
07:08:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
07:08:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:08:53 Pointing updates are enabled
07:08:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:08:53   Start slew to IR_Com...
07:08:55   (wait for slew to complete)
07:10:04   (slew complete)
07:10:04     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-10696s GW=T HAz=-10096s DWz=T WF=no]
07:10:04   Updating pointing...
07:10:05   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:10:05   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:10:08   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:10:08   (using Fast readout mode)
07:10:08   (starting exposure)
07:10:33   (exposure complete)
07:10:35   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:10:36   Image finished
07:10:36   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:10:37   179 image stars found
07:10:37   151 catalog stars found
07:10:38   Solved! 40 stars matched.
07:10:38   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
07:10:38   Pointing error is 1.405 arcmin @ angle 267.01
07:10:38   True focal length is 3468.3 mm.
07:10:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:10:38   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 26.1s   21° 08' 01.99"
07:10:38   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:10:39   [sync] pointing model updated
07:10:39   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:10:39   Target is now centered.
07:10:39   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:10:39   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:10:39   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
07:10:39   Focus change of 270 steps required
07:10:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:10:56   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=451.4344 Y=348.4813
07:10:57 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:10:57 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:11:11   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
07:11:11 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:11:11 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:11:11 **Autoguiding failed.
