Licensed to Arne Henden
03:21:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:21:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:21:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:21:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:21:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:21:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:21:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:21:18 Dome is MaxDome
03:21:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:21:18 Imager is ASCOM
03:21:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:21:18 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240216@032018 UTC
03:21:18 Imager readout modes:
03:21:18   0 is Fast
03:21:18   1 is Normal
03:21:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:21:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:21:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:21:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:21:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:21:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:21:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:21:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:21:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:21:18 ==== Starting target QZ_Aur ====
03:21:18 ACPS Observation QZ_Aur(1 of 1)
03:21:18   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan QZ_Aur)
03:21:18   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:21:18 Pointing updates are enabled
03:21:18 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:21:18   Start slew to QZ_Aur...
03:21:20   (wait for slew to complete)
03:21:59   (slew complete)
03:21:59     [flip check:  Tn=460s HAc=1653s GW=T HAz=2113s DWz=T WF=no]
03:21:59   Updating pointing...
03:21:59   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:21:59   Focus change of 20 steps required
03:22:02   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:22:02   (using Fast readout mode)
03:22:02   (starting exposure)
03:27:44 **Pointing update error from MaxIm.CCDCamera:
    **Exposure failed after being successfully started
03:27:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:27:44   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:27:44   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
03:27:44   Focus change of 320 steps required
03:27:48   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:27:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:28:00 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:28:00 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:28:12   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:28:13 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:28:13 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:28:13 **Autoguiding failed.
