Licensed to Arne Henden
05:43:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:43:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:43:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:43:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:43:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:43:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:43:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:43:18 Dome is MaxDome
05:43:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:43:18 Imager is ASCOM
05:43:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:43:18 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240216@053727 UTC
05:43:18 Imager readout modes:
05:43:18   0 is Fast
05:43:18   1 is Normal
05:43:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:43:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:43:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:43:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:43:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:43:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:43:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:43:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:43:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:43:18 ==== Starting target FS_Aur ====
05:43:18 ACPS Observation FS_Aur(1 of 1)
05:43:18   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan FS_Aur)
05:43:18   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:43:18 Pointing updates are enabled
05:43:18 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:43:18   (wait for slew to complete)
05:43:22   (slew complete)
05:43:22   Start slew to FS_Aur...
05:43:24   (wait for slew to complete)
05:43:43   (slew complete)
05:43:43     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=9030s GW=T HAz=9570s DWz=T WF=no]
05:43:43   Updating pointing...
05:43:44   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:43:44   (using Fast readout mode)
05:43:44   (starting exposure)
05:49:25 **Pointing update error from MaxIm.CCDCamera:
    **Exposure failed after being successfully started
05:49:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:49:25   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:49:25   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:49:25   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:49:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:49:42   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:49:42 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:49:43 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
05:49:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
05:49:55 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
05:49:55 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
05:49:55 **Autoguiding failed.
