This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
03:26:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:26:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:26:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:26:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:26:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:26:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:26:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:26:55 Dome is MaxDome
03:26:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:26:55 Imager is ASCOM
03:26:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:26:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@032459 UTC
03:26:55 Imager readout modes:
03:26:55   0 is Fast
03:26:55   1 is Normal
03:26:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:26:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:26:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:26:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:26:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:26:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:26:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:26:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:26:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:26:55 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
03:26:55 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
03:26:55   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan GZ_Cnc)
03:26:55   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:26:55 Pointing updates are enabled
03:26:55 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:26:55   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
03:26:57   (wait for slew to complete)
03:27:27   (slew complete)
03:27:27     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=-11402s GW=T HAz=-10862s DWz=T WF=no]
03:27:27   Updating pointing...
03:27:27   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:27:27   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:27:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:27:31   (using Fast readout mode)
03:27:31   (starting exposure)
03:27:56   (exposure complete)
03:27:58   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:27:59   Image finished
03:27:59   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:28:00   247 image stars found
03:28:00   127 catalog stars found
03:28:02   Solved! 37 stars matched.
03:28:02   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
03:28:02   Pointing error is 1.958 arcmin @ angle 267.46
03:28:02   True focal length is 3471.1 mm.
03:28:02   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:28:02   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 43.8s   09° 00' 42.79"
03:28:02   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:28:02   [sync] pointing model updated
03:28:02   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:28:02   Target is now centered.
03:28:02   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:28:02   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:28:02   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:28:02   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:28:05   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:28:19   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
03:28:19 **No stars at all found in guider image
03:28:20 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
03:28:33   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1039 Y=100
03:28:33 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:28:34 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
03:28:34 **Autoguiding failed.
