Licensed to Arne Henden
09:44:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:44:39 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:44:39   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:44:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:44:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:44:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:44:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:44:40 Dome is MaxDome
09:44:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:44:40 Imager is ASCOM
09:44:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:44:40 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240215@093626 UTC
09:44:40 Imager readout modes:
09:44:40   0 is Fast
09:44:40   1 is Normal
09:44:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:44:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:44:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:44:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:44:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:44:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:44:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:44:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:44:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:44:40 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
09:44:40 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
09:44:40   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
09:44:40   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:44:41 Pointing updates are enabled
09:44:41 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:44:41   Start slew to IX_Dra...
09:44:42   (wait for slew to complete)
09:46:23   (slew complete)
09:46:23     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-21193s GW=T HAz=-20533s DWz=T WF=no]
09:46:23   Updating pointing...
09:46:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:46:23   (using Fast readout mode)
09:46:23   (starting exposure)
09:46:39   (exposure complete)
09:46:42   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:46:43   Image finished
09:46:43   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:46:44   328 image stars found
09:46:44   307 catalog stars found
09:46:45   Solved! 122 stars matched.
09:46:45   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
09:46:45   Pointing error is 0.834 arcmin @ angle 154.02
09:46:45   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
09:46:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:46:45   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 35.2s   67° 04' 00.83"
09:46:45   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
09:46:45   [sync] pointing model updated
09:46:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:46:45   Target is now centered.
09:46:45   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:46:45   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:46:45   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:46:45   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:46:49   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:47:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452 Y=347
09:47:03 **No stars at all found in guider image
09:47:04 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:47:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=723.0005 Y=913
09:47:17 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:47:17 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:47:17 **Autoguiding failed.
