Licensed to Arne Henden
03:44:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:44:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:44:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:44:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:44:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:44:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:44:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:44:36 Dome is MaxDome
03:44:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:44:36 Imager is ASCOM
03:44:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:44:36 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240217@034256 UTC
03:44:36 Imager readout modes:
03:44:36   0 is Fast
03:44:36   1 is Normal
03:44:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:44:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:44:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:44:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:44:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:44:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:44:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:44:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:44:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:44:36 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====
03:44:36 ACPS Observation HQ_Mon(1 of 1)
03:44:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan HQ_Mon)
03:44:36   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:44:36 Pointing updates are enabled
03:44:36 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:44:36   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
03:44:38   (wait for slew to complete)
03:44:58   (slew complete)
03:44:58     [flip check:  Tn=502s HAc=-2887s GW=T HAz=-2386s DWz=T WF=no]
03:44:58   Updating pointing...
03:44:58   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:44:58   Focus change of 20 steps required
03:45:01   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:45:01   (using Fast readout mode)
03:45:01   (starting exposure)
03:45:18   (exposure complete)
03:45:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:45:21   Image finished
03:45:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:45:22   2119 image stars found
03:45:22   415 catalog stars found
03:45:23   Solved! 130 stars matched.
03:45:23   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
03:45:23   Pointing error is 3.134 arcmin @ angle 270.97
03:45:23   True focal length is 3469.6 mm.
03:45:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:45:23   True image center (J2000): 07h 11m 21.2s   00° 52' 09.20"
03:45:23   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:45:23   [sync] pointing model updated
03:45:23   Re-slew to target.
03:45:23   Start slew to HQ_Mon...
03:45:25   (wait for slew to complete)
03:45:35   (slew complete)
03:45:35   Target is now centered.
03:45:35   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:45:35   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:45:35   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
03:45:35   Focus change of 290 steps required
03:45:39   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:45:52   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=939.4517 Y=919.3725
03:45:53   (guide star SNR=26.2 X=939 Y=919)
03:45:53   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
03:45:58 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
03:45:58 **No usable stars this time, must be extremely weak, giving up.
03:45:58 **Autoguiding failed.
