Licensed to Arne Henden
04:10:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:10:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:10:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:10:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:10:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:10:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:10:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:10:52 Dome is MaxDome
04:10:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:10:52 Imager is ASCOM
04:10:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:10:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@040855 UTC
04:10:52 Imager readout modes:
04:10:52   0 is Fast
04:10:52   1 is Normal
04:10:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:10:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:10:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:10:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:10:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:10:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:10:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:10:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:10:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:10:52 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
04:10:52 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
04:10:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
04:10:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:10:52 Pointing updates are enabled
04:10:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:10:53   Start slew to U_Leo...
04:10:54   (wait for slew to complete)
04:11:59   (slew complete)
04:11:59     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-13288s GW=T HAz=-12688s DWz=T WF=no]
04:11:59   Updating pointing...
04:11:59   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:11:59   Focus change of -320 steps required
04:12:03   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:12:03   (using Fast readout mode)
04:12:03   (starting exposure)
04:12:29   (exposure complete)
04:12:32   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:12:33   Image finished
04:12:33   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:12:34   181 image stars found
04:12:34   150 catalog stars found
04:12:35   Solved! 26 stars matched.
04:12:35   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
04:12:35   Pointing error is 1.302 arcmin @ angle 269.30
04:12:35   True focal length is 3479.5 mm.
04:12:35   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:12:35   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 58.4s   14° 00' 25.04"
04:12:35   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:12:35   [sync] pointing model updated
04:12:35   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:12:35   Target is now centered.
04:12:35   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:12:35   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:12:35   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
04:12:35   Focus change of 290 steps required
04:12:39   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:12:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1229 Y=1002
04:12:53 **No stars at all found in guider image
04:12:53 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
04:13:06   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=244 Y=76
04:13:06 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
04:13:07 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
04:13:07 **Autoguiding failed.
