Licensed to Arne Henden
11:48:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:48:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:48:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:48:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:48:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:48:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:48:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:48:23 Dome is MaxDome
11:48:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:48:23 Imager is ASCOM
11:48:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:48:23 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@114440 UTC
11:48:24 Imager readout modes:
11:48:24   0 is Fast
11:48:24   1 is Normal
11:48:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:48:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:48:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:48:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:48:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:48:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:48:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:48:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:48:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:48:24 ==== Starting target NGC_6402 ====
11:48:24 ACPS Observation NGC_6402(1 of 1)
11:48:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6402)
11:48:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:48:24 Pointing updates are enabled
11:48:24 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:48:24   Start slew to NGC_6402...
11:48:25   (wait for slew to complete)
11:48:35   (slew complete)
11:48:35   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

11:48:35   Imaging to NGC_6402_SG_20240215_114835_T3
11:48:35   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
11:48:35   (using Normal readout mode)
11:48:35   (starting exposure)
11:49:41   (exposure complete)
11:49:43   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:49:45   Image finished
11:49:45   Plate-solve NGC_6402_SG_20240215_114835_T3 final image.
11:49:47   943 image stars found
11:49:48   95 catalog stars found
11:49:49   Solved! 39 stars matched.
11:49:49   Average residual is 0.22 arcsec.
11:49:49   Pointing error is 1.660 arcmin @ angle 270.17
11:49:49   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
11:49:49   True focal length is 3467.8 mm.
11:49:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
11:49:49   True image center (J2000): 17h 37m 29.5s   -03° 14' 45.00"
11:49:49   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
11:49:49   Image FWHM is 2.5 arcsec (5.58 pixels)
11:49:49   (avg FWHM = 2.50 arcsec)
11:49:49   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:49:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
11:49:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
11:49:49   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:49:57   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=792.9296 Y=868.9932
11:49:57 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:49:58 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
11:50:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
11:50:11 **No stars at all found in guider image
11:50:11 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
11:50:11 **Autoguiding failed.
