Licensed to Arne Henden
12:13:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:13:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:13:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:13:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:13:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:13:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:13:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:13:11 Dome is MaxDome
12:13:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:13:11 Imager is ASCOM
12:13:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:13:11 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@120739 UTC
12:13:11 Imager readout modes:
12:13:11   0 is Fast
12:13:11   1 is Normal
12:13:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:13:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:13:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:13:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:13:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:13:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:13:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:13:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:13:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:13:11 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
12:13:11 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
12:13:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HJZ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan M56_V6)
12:13:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:13:11 Pointing updates are enabled
12:13:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:13:11   Start slew to M56_V6...
12:13:13   (wait for slew to complete)
12:14:03   (slew complete)
12:14:03     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-16213s GW=T HAz=-15553s DWz=T WF=no]
12:14:03   Updating pointing...
12:14:03   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:14:03   Focus change of -50 steps required
12:14:05   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:14:05   (using Fast readout mode)
12:14:05   (starting exposure)
12:14:27   (exposure complete)
12:14:30   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:14:31   Image finished
12:14:31   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:14:31   2083 image stars found
12:14:31   357 catalog stars found
12:14:33   Solved! 148 stars matched.
12:14:33   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
12:14:33   Pointing error is 0.640 arcmin @ angle 231.90
12:14:33   True focal length is 3467.0 mm.
12:14:33   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:14:33   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 33.2s   30° 10' 40.49"
12:14:33   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
12:14:33   [sync] pointing model updated
12:14:33   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:14:33   Target is now centered.
12:14:33   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:14:33   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
12:14:33   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
12:14:33   Focus change of 320 steps required
12:14:36   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
12:14:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.1432 Y=456.9254
12:14:50 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
12:14:50 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
12:15:03   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=477.4096 Y=287.4869
12:15:03   (guide star SNR=21.9 X=478 Y=288)
12:15:04   (first exposure estimate 1.37 sec)
12:15:09 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
12:15:09 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
12:15:09 **Autoguiding failed.
