Licensed to Arne Henden
07:37:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:37:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:37:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:37:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:37:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:37:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:37:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:37:11 Dome is MaxDome
07:37:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:37:11 Imager is ASCOM
07:37:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:37:11 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@073440 UTC
07:37:11 Imager readout modes:
07:37:11   0 is Fast
07:37:11   1 is Normal
07:37:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:37:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:37:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:37:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:37:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:37:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:37:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:37:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:37:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:37:11 ==== Starting target GZ_Cnc ====
07:37:11 ACPS Observation GZ_Cnc(1 of 1)
07:37:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MZK_AUTO_ver2706, Plan GZ_Cnc)
07:37:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:37:11 Pointing updates are enabled
07:37:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:37:11   Start slew to GZ_Cnc...
07:37:13   (wait for slew to complete)
07:38:49   (slew complete)
07:38:49     [flip check:  Tn=540s HAc=3721s GW=T HAz=4261s DWz=T WF=no]
07:38:49   Updating pointing...
07:38:49   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:38:49   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:38:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:38:52   (using Fast readout mode)
07:38:52   (starting exposure)
07:39:17   (exposure complete)
07:39:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:39:21   Image finished
07:39:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:39:22   300 image stars found
07:39:22   127 catalog stars found
07:39:23   Solved! 53 stars matched.
07:39:23   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
07:39:23   Pointing error is 1.560 arcmin @ angle 78.13
07:39:23   True focal length is 3471.3 mm.
07:39:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:39:23   True image center (J2000): 09h 15m 57.9s   09° 01' 07.24"
07:39:23   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
07:39:23   [sync] pointing model updated
07:39:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:39:23   Target is now centered.
07:39:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:39:23   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
07:39:23   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
07:39:23   Focus change of 290 steps required
07:39:26   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
07:39:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
07:39:41 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:39:41 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:39:54   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=962.5942 Y=561.1163
07:39:54   (guide star SNR=3.8 X=963 Y=561)
07:39:55   (first exposure estimate 7.83 sec)
07:40:06   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=964 Y=562)
07:40:06   (final exposure for guiding 7.53 sec)
07:40:18   (guide star SNR=3.3 X=966 Y=563)
07:40:19 **Guider unexpectedly stopped while waiting for measurement
07:40:20   (take guider image at initial interval 7.53 sec)
07:40:30   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.1268 Y=457
07:40:31 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:40:31 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
07:40:44   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1326.477 Y=607.998
07:40:44 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
07:40:45 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
07:40:45 **Autoguiding failed.
