Licensed to Arne Henden
09:36:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:36:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:36:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:36:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:36:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:36:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:36:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:36:35 Dome is MaxDome
09:36:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:36:35 Imager is ASCOM
09:36:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:36:35 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240217@092146 UTC
09:36:35 Imager readout modes:
09:36:35   0 is Fast
09:36:35   1 is Normal
09:36:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:36:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:36:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:36:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:36:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:36:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:36:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:36:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:36:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:36:35 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
09:36:35 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
09:36:35   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
09:36:35   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:36:35 Pointing updates are enabled
09:36:35 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:36:35   Start slew to IX_Dra...
09:36:37   (wait for slew to complete)
09:38:23   (slew complete)

09:38:23   Updating pointing...
09:38:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:38:23   (using Fast readout mode)
09:38:23   (starting exposure)
09:38:38   (exposure complete)
09:38:41   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
09:38:42   Image finished
09:38:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:38:43   342 image stars found
09:38:43   307 catalog stars found
09:38:44   Solved! 119 stars matched.
09:38:44   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
09:38:44   Pointing error is 1.745 arcmin @ angle 98.38
09:38:44   True focal length is 3467.2 mm.
09:38:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:38:44   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 49.2s   67° 04' 30.47"
09:38:44   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
09:38:44   [sync] pointing model updated
09:38:44   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:38:44   Target is now centered.
09:38:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:38:44   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:38:44   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:38:44   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:38:48   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:39:02   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:39:03 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:39:03 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:39:15   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=984.179 Y=643.1363
09:39:16   (guide star SNR=6.5 X=984 Y=643)
09:39:16   (first exposure estimate 4.62 sec)
09:39:24   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=984 Y=643)
09:39:24   (final exposure for guiding 4.44 sec)
09:39:32   (guide star SNR=3.1 X=984 Y=642)
09:39:57 **Guider waited for 22.2 sec and never got a measurement
09:39:58   (take guider image at initial interval 4.44 sec)
09:40:07   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:40:07 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:40:07 **No usable stars in guider image; trying again at max guider exposure
09:40:20   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=0 Y=0
09:40:21 ** This guide star disappeared or moved > 20 pixels. Can't continue.
09:40:21 **No usable stars at max guider exposure interval, can't guide
09:40:21 **Autoguiding failed.
