Licensed to Arne Henden
02:47:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:47:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:47:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:47:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:47:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:47:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:47:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:47:44 Dome is MaxDome
02:47:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:47:44 Imager is ASCOM
02:47:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:47:44 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240216@012939 UTC
02:47:44 Imager readout modes:
02:47:44   0 is Fast
02:47:44   1 is Normal
02:47:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:47:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:47:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:47:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:47:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:47:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:47:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:47:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:47:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:47:44 ==== Starting target KN_Lyn ====
02:47:44 ACPS Observation KN_Lyn(1 of 1)
02:47:44   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KN_Lyn)
02:47:44   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:47:45 Pointing updates are enabled
02:47:45 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:47:45   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:47:46   (wait for slew to complete)
02:48:50   (slew complete)
02:48:50     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-10433s GW=T HAz=-9931s DWz=T WF=no]
02:48:50   Updating pointing...
02:48:50   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:48:50   (using Fast readout mode)
02:48:50   (starting exposure)
02:49:06   (exposure complete)
02:49:08   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:49:09   Image finished
02:49:09   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:49:10   160 image stars found
02:49:10   252 catalog stars found
02:49:11   Solved! 39 stars matched.
02:49:11   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
02:49:11   Pointing error is 2.359 arcmin @ angle 94.68
02:49:11   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
02:49:11   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:49:11   True image center (J2000): 08h 16m 50.4s   47° 50' 30.90"
02:49:11   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:49:11   [sync] pointing model updated
02:49:11   Re-slew to target.
02:49:11   Start slew to KN_Lyn...
02:49:13   (wait for slew to complete)
02:49:23   (slew complete)
02:49:23   Target is now centered.
02:49:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:49:23   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:49:23   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:49:23   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:49:26   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:49:35   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
02:49:36 **No stars at all found in guider image
02:49:36 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
02:49:49   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1229 Y=1002
02:49:49 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
02:49:50 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
02:49:50 **Autoguiding failed.
