Licensed to Arne Henden
07:01:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:01:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:01:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:01:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:01:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:01:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:01:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:01:37 Dome is MaxDome
07:01:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:01:37 Imager is ASCOM
07:01:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:01:37 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@070031 UTC
07:01:37 Imager readout modes:
07:01:37   0 is Fast
07:01:37   1 is Normal
07:01:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:01:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:01:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:01:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:01:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:01:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:01:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:01:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:01:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:01:37 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
07:01:37 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
07:01:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
07:01:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:01:37 Pointing updates are enabled
07:01:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:01:37   Start slew to U_Leo...
07:01:39   (wait for slew to complete)
07:02:28   (slew complete)
07:02:28     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-3031s GW=T HAz=-2431s DWz=T WF=no]
07:02:28   Updating pointing...
07:02:28   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:02:28   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:02:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:02:32   (using Fast readout mode)
07:02:32   (starting exposure)
07:02:56   (exposure complete)
07:02:58   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:02:59   Image finished
07:02:59   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:03:00   215 image stars found
07:03:00   150 catalog stars found
07:03:02   Solved! 52 stars matched.
07:03:02   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
07:03:02   Pointing error is 1.902 arcmin @ angle 82.00
07:03:02   True focal length is 3467.2 mm.
07:03:02   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:03:02   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 11.6s   14° 00' 41.87"
07:03:02   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
07:03:02   [sync] pointing model updated
07:03:02   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:03:02   Target is now centered.
07:03:02   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:03:02   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:03:02   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:03:02   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:03:05   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:03:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=547 Y=449
07:03:19 **No stars at all found in guider image
07:03:20 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:03:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=488 Y=199
07:03:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:03:33 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:03:33 **Autoguiding failed.
